ICRC Hosts Splash and Dash Adventure Race

The Irmo Chapin Recreation Commission (ICRC) will host its Splash and Dash Adventure Race on Saturday, September 23, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m. Taking place at beautiful Saluda Shoals Park, located at 5605 Bush River Road, in Columbia, event participants will have tons of fun running, paddling and pedaling through the park in teams of two or three. A beginner-friendly but challenging race for all, it will feature the following participation categories: two- and three-person teams and coed (all male or all female).

This fun-filled competition combines mountain biking (4 miles), trail running (2 miles) and paddling (1 mile). All distances are approximate; the exact order, distance and route of the events are not revealed until the day of the race. Teams must complete each section of the course together and cross the finish line as a team! All paddle equipment will be provided. Participants are asked to bring off-road bikes and helmets. Awards for first-, second- and third-place finishes will be presented for each participation category. To register for this event, visit icrc.net.

Cost: $50 per 2-person team and $75 per 3-person team before Sept. 12; $60 per 2-person team and $90 per 3-person team after Sept. 12. For more information, call 803-213-2062 or email [email protected]. Also visit icrc.net.
