Sand, sun, and miles. Celebrate the beginning of the summer with us. Whether you are new to multi-sport or a seasoned triathlete, this event has something for you. Open for all levels. We are combining our popular Newbie Clinic and the first of the Splash n' Dash series.
New for 2023, the Splash n' Dashes are USAT Sanctioned events. In order to help offset with the cost of sanctioning, registration for the event is $15. Attending the Newbie Clinic is free! New to triathlon? Unsure how to start and intimidated by all the rules? Then our Newbie Clinic is just the thing for you! We go through every part of a triathlon, including the swim, bike, run transitions, nutrition, safety, and common rule violations. You will have the opportunity to practice these skills. Veteran athletes will be on hand to answer all your questions. The best part, it's free! |
