The Splash Mash Dash Kids Triathlon is perfect for kiddos looking for a way to "TRI" the sport of triathlon or tune up their skills for a larger race. The race will offer kids a safe and fun environment for racing.
Athletes will swim, bike, and run a course at the HRCA Eastridge Recreation Center pool and around Falcon Park. To encourage participation and enjoyment for all, The Splash Mash Dash Kids Triathlon is a non-timed event.
