Hey, Northwest Arkansas mamas! We heard about a great event happening on June 23, 2023, that you should check out — especially if your kids love to ride bikes and/or play in the water.
It’s called Trifest Splash & Dash, and the event registration fee helps raise money for research aimed at finding a cure for multiple sclerosis. The event is being hosted by Rampy MS Research Foundation.
What is Splash & Dash?
Kids 4 and under can participate in the STRIDER Bike/Run event. Kids aged 5 to 17 will participate in the Swim/Run event. Age is based on the child’s age on race day.
It’ll be a fun evening full of swimming, biking, running, snow cones, music, and medals!
The Trifest Splash & Dash is an event held in partnership with USA Triathalon. The mission is to provide kids with a safe, fun introduction to multisport.
