The Sea Otter's race is a 50meters, 1 lap (down & back = 1 lap) swim, followed by a transition in the parking lot to a .5mile run, 1 lap around Service High school sidewalks, counter clockwise. Life jackets are welcome! The Puffin's will complete a 300yard, 6 lap swim, transitioning in the parking lot to a 2 laps, run around Service High School, counter clockwise, 1.0miles total. After the race we will have super fancy finishers medals, and post race snacks for all finishers. Series racers that sign-up by April 15th will receive a race t-shirt. Everyone will receive a swag bag and a custom race bib! Shirt sizing for those that signup late will be limited to first to sign up, first served. Top 3 Overall Boys/Girls in each age group in the splash n dash series will win a custom race towel at the awards party. We will post series rankings after every race. Awards party, FREE family fun run & root beer social is July 30th, 2025 at Ray Stork Park @ 6pm, all are welcome! We will have a SPECIAL Middle/High School Splash n' Dash wave, starting at 7:15pm, either distances are welcome!
Our Kid’s Dash is for those that just want to run! Our dash will happen at the same location and on the same run course as the Splash n’ Dash, starting runners from a line near the exit to the transition area to allow for all kids to have the same run experience and comparable run times to their friends. Dash racers will run 3 laps, .75miles. Dash racers will start at 3 wave start times, 6pm, 6:30, or 7pm. We will start the first dash runner at the same time as the first Splash n’ Dash swim wave begins. Top 3 Overall Boys/Girls in each age group in the dash series will also receive awards at the awards party. We will post series rankings after every race. Awards party, FREE family fun run & root beer social is July 30th, 2025 at Ray Stork Park @ 6pm, all are welcome!
