Louisville Spring Splash & Dash Series

Lace up for an exhilarating start to spring at the Louisville Spring Splash & Dash Series, kicking off on March 1, 2026, in Louisville, CO! This dynamic event, held at the Louisville Rec Center, offers young athletes aged 6-14 a unique introduction to multisport with a fun-filled swim-run challenge. Participants will dive into an indoor swim in the Rec Center pool before transitioning to an outdoor run on a scenic trail. Should the weather prove uncooperative, the run will be moved indoors to the facility's running track, ensuring a great race experience no matter what.

The series is designed to be accessible and engaging, with age-group specific distances. Younger participants (6-8 years) tackle a 50-yard swim and a 0.65-mile run, while older athletes (9-11 years) complete a 100-yard swim and a 1.3-mile run, and the oldest group (12-14 years) takes on a 150-yard swim followed by a 1.95-mile run. This USA Triathlon-sanctioned event emphasizes participation and building confidence, making it a perfect entry point into the world of aquathlons. Athletes who compete in all races throughout the series, which extends until April 26, 2026, can even earn points toward becoming the Series Champion.

With typical race day conditions seeing highs around 51°F and lows around 24°F, and only a 6% chance of precipitation, runners can anticipate crisp, clear weather ideal for performance. The Louisville Rec Center serves as the central hub for the event, ensuring a convenient and family-friendly atmosphere for all competitors and spectators.
