Westtown School Splash & Dash Kids Triathlon and Community 5K

Westtown School is pleased to invite you to join us for the inaugural Westtown Splash & Dash Kids Triathlon and Community 5k. This event is a fundraiser benefiting Westtown School, but is also a great way to dust off the cobwebs and race away winter doldrums. 

The Course:

Triathlon: A 300yd “Serpentine Swim” kicks off the race. Participants proceed to the transition area outside the pool and hop onto their bikes. The 2-mile bike ride is a hilly course that heads out the East driveway of Westtown School turning right onto Shady Grove Way. Upon reaching 926, racers will turn around and head back up to campus into the parking lot behind the pool. From there, they have a .82 mile run through the campus woods, over the Frog Pond and will finish on the track across the finish line.

Kids Sprint: The sprint will entail a race around the Westtown track for kids ages 5-8 and a 100 yard dash for kids ages 4 and under.

5k: The 5k will take place on one of the school’s two cross country courses which have great trails. A great Spring tune-up race!
