Splash & Dash 2.5K SUP and 5K Trail Run
The Splash & Dash, which should really be called the “Dash & Splash,” based on the order of events, is a race very unique to our area. The “dash” is a 5K run that starts and finishes adjacent to the Boathouse Paddle Club, and will run throughout the community of WaterColor, primarily on its beautifully-groomed trails. The “splash” is a 2.5K standup paddleboard (SUP) race that will take place on Western Lake, and finish directly underneath the iconic WaterColor bridge. Participants will have the option to participate in the Run ONLY; the SUP Race ONLY; or both the 5K Run + 2.5K Paddle Race. This is truly a unique format with three different categories to choose from - the first race of its kind on 30A!
For the paddle race, participants may bring their own recreational style board (12’ and under) or rent a board from the Boathouse Paddle Club for use during the race (specific directions on how to reserve a board will be provided on the registration page). But to reiterate, if you do bring your own board, it MUST be "recreational style" 12' and under.
Men’s and women’s winners and runner ups for the 5K run, the SUP race, and the run/SUP combo race will receive awards. All registered participants who cross the finish line of their respective race will also receive a finisher's award. And, of course, all registered participants will be receiving the always cool Splash and Dash swag!
Discounts. As always, first responders and active duty or retired military always get 10% off. Just use the HERO promo code at checkout. Also, if you want to run but the registration fee will truly set you back financially, please know that a few registrations have been set aside for such situations. Just use the WANTTORUN promo code at checkout. No worries and no questions asked. However, shame on you if you use either of those promo codes and don't warrant them. Seriously.
