Wild Rivers Splash Dash 5K and Ducky Dash at Wild Rivers Waterpark
This event at Wild Rivers Waterpark in Irvine offers two 5K options and a kids Ducky Dash. Participants choose between the Splash Dash 5K, which finishes by running through the park's lazy river in about 2.5 feet of water, or the Dry Run 5K, which avoids the water. The Ducky Dash for children includes short distances that run through the kiddie pool wading area and finishes on the bridge.
Distances:
- 5K Splash Dash (3.1 miles)
- 5K Dry Run (3.1 miles)
- Ducky Dash for kids: 200 yards, 400 meters, 1/2 mile
Every participant receives a custom finisher medal and a choice of a custom beach towel or event t-shirt. Age-division awards and top overall trophies are given in specified categories. Chip timing is provided using RFID timing equipment.
