Big Rivers Splash & Dash
Big Rivers Splash & Dash takes place on June 13, 2026 at Big Rivers Waterpark in New Caney, TX (23101 TX-242, 77357). The event benefits the TANGO2 Research Foundation and is presented by the park. Organizers note the event responds to a family affected by the TANGO2 disorder.
Races and options include multiple distances and formats:
- Aquathlon: 500m swim and 5K run
- 10K run
- 5K run
- Kids Dash: 100 to 200 meters
- Virtual 5K
- Virtual 10K
The courses run around the park and the on-site lake, with the aquathlon swim held in the lazy river. The Kids Dash takes place near the front of the waterpark and parents are welcome to join. A Volunteer Then Run program requires volunteers to arrive 1.5 hours before the 5K to assist with packet pick-up and set-up, and to help with water, medals, and awards after finishing.
Registered participants receive a custom race shirt, a custom finisher medal, and an official race bib. Awards are available for overall and age group placements. Early entry to the waterpark on race day is included with registration. Event features listed by organizers include a DJ, sponsor booths, a pre-race warm-up, and a finisher tent with snacks and refreshments.
