The Colorado Springs USA Triathlon Youth Splash and Dash will be returning for its fifth year and is open to athletes ages 7-15. A Splash and Dash is a fun and fast-growing sport that combines running and swimming. The swim will take place in Cheyenne Mountain's scenic outdoor pool in the shadows of Pikes Peak, while the run will take placed on a closed, paved path that encircles a lake around the Resort. The focus is on PARTICIPATION rather than competition. The event will not be timed and is sanctioned by USA Triathlon.

When you decide that you want to compete in the aquathlon, you will need somewhere to train! Athletes and their respective families are able to take advantage of a guest pass rate at Cheyenne Mountain Resort all the way up until race day! Practice your swimming in their beautiful aquatics center, and practice your running and strength training in their state-of-the-art workout facilities. Families of up to 4 will be able to receive a full, one-day pass for $50, which includes access to all spa and fitness center facilitites for each family member. Please email Matt Reger at [email protected] to access the discount. You can also visit Cheyenne Mountain for more information.

Please note that the $10 race entry does not include the cost of purchasing a youth annual membership. You will be required to purchase a USA Triathlon youth annual membership for $10 as you work through the registration process. All participants must be a youth annual member to participate! If you are already a USAT youth annual member, there will be a section in the registration to enter your USAT member number.
