LG Triathlon Festival Splash-N-Dash
Welcome to the 2nd annual Kids Splash-N-Dash.
We are excited to offer this neat event to keep the kids involved and give them their own race. The Splash-N-Dash is a Non-Competitve swim/run event and will take place after the awards ceremony for the Lake George Triathlon. Approx. 1pm on Saturday the 3rd.
The swim will be a near shore swim and take place in water that is 3 to 4 feet in depth with a sandy bottom. The run is basically a flat course. We put in a little out and back on the right to add a hill just for fun...
All kids will be required to be USAT annual members ($5 membership fee). If they are already members, just have them bring their USAT cards with them.
Kids 6-10
- 50 yard swim
- 0.5 mile run (single loop)
Kids 11-14
- 100 yard swim
- 1.0 mile run (2 loops)
The swim will start in the water and will either be a time trial start or break down into smaller waves to keep everyone a bit separated. It will largely depend on the number of racers.
The swim is a counter-clockwise swim. When complete, the racers will exit on the beach and follow the cones to the transition area. All racers will be required to put on sneakers (or some type of footwear to run in) before exiting transition.
From transition, the racers will follow a counter-clockwise route around the park. There are two foot bridges to cross and they will be well marked. The 6-10 year olds will complete a single loop and come back to the finishing chute area of the Lake George Triathlon. The 11-14 year olds will break off for a second loop and finish the same as the others.
No awards will be given, but all participants will get a T-shirt and finishing medal.
