Kids will start their morning with a quick time-trial lap swim in the Splash Town pool. They will then proceed to the transition zone and grab their running shoes for the second half of the event. The athletes will then exit the transition, e.g. pool facility, and begin their run on the double-wide sidewalks as they enter Lee Victory Park. This scenic run will take the athletes past the playground and around the Captain Jeff Kuss Memorial before heading down to the finish line at the Smyrna Outdoor Adventure Center. All participants will receive a complimentary USA Triathlon Annual Youth Membership Ages 6-10: 60 yard swim, 1 mile run Ages 11-12: 120 yard swim, 1 mile run Ages 13-15: 120 yard swim, 1.60 mil run SWIM : Please note, due to our desire to keep this a fun and beginner friendly event for even the youngest athletes, the swim distances are not the standard 25 yard length, allowing us to keep the swim in the shallower portion of the pool. Swimming East to West across the pool width will utilize the shallow end of the pool (up to 5 foot) and is roughly 15 yards each width. Athletes age 6-10 will swim 4 widths, athletes age 11-15 will swim 8 widths touching the wall and swimming under the rope in a snake swim. Athletes will be lined up by age and released every 5 to 10 seconds. Please ensure your athlete can swim the required distance unassisted. USAT rules prevent the use of flotation devices. However, lifeguards will be on duty to ensure safety. RUN : This scenic run will take athletes through Lee Victory Park, out and around the famous Captain Jeff Kuss memorial, and downhill for a celebratory finish. Athletes age 12 and under will run 1 mile, while athletes ages 13 and up will run a second loop totaling around 1.6 miles. At least one water stop will be provided. Athletes will stay on the double lane sidewalks of the park. As this is the inaugural event, participation will be limited to 100 athletes and is expected to sell out. The Smyrna Splash & Dash is a sanctioned USAT event and therefore requires a USAT license for all participants. However, USAT is granting annual licenses for all participants of the 2026 event. While this event is focused on fun, it will be officially timed by Race Day Events. *USAT (USA Triathlon) rules require that the age that is used is the age as of 12/31 of the race year. Registration includes A Splash & Dash medal Race T-Shirt ( Must be registered by 6/16 to be guaranteed a shirt) Refreshments after the race Timed results by Race Day Events For any questions, please contact smyrnasplashdash@gmail.com or visit our facebook page
