The Tucson Jewish Community Center will host the only USA Triathlon Splash and Dash Youth Aquathlon in Arizona and the Southwest on Sunday, Aug. 21. Tucson is one of 45 cities across the United States designated to host a Splash and Dash event, which was created by USA Triathlon to introduce youth to a multisport lifestyle.

Splash and Dash is a fast-growing sport that combines running and swimming. The run can take place on a trail, road or path. The swim can take place in any body of water – a pool, reservoir or ocean.

The Tucson J competition is a timed event for participants ages 7-15. Athletes in the age group 7-10 will cover a 100-yard swim and a 1k run, while athletes ages 11-15 will complete a 200-yard swim and a 2k run. To register, visit tucsonjcc.org. Registration is open to all. The cost is $28.25 (USAT members) or $38.25 (USAT non-members, includes $10 membership fee). Deadline to register is Aug. 17.
