The focus is on PARTICIPATION rather than competition. The series will expose youth participants to USA Triathlon and the exciting world of multisport! This event will NOT be timed. All events within the series will be USA Triathlon sanctioned.

- Engages youth athletes in pre-race and post-race activities such as vendor areas, clinics, and additional educational opportunities.
- Creates an opportunity to meet friends and other youth athletes who are interested and also engage in the multisport lifestyle!
- Less equipment required compared to that of a triathlon since a Splash and Dash (aquathon) does not require a bike.
WHAT IS USA TRIATHLON SANCTIONING?
The term “sanction” refers to the compliance of a multisport event to USA Triathlon’s safety requirements. Safety plans, course maps, and event details must be submitted for review by experienced USA Triathlon staff. This ensures events are safe and fair competition environments.
USA Triathlon sanctions more than 4,000 events across the country. USA Triathlon not only sanctions triathlons, but also paratriathlons, duathlons, aquathlons, aquabikes, off-road events, winter triathlons, youth races, camps and clinics.
