Sweat Bar Fitness 5&5 Splash & Dash
The event on August 30, 2026 takes place at Settlers Cabin Wave Pool & Park in Pittsburgh, PA. It combines a pool swim immediately followed by a trail run in Settlers Cabin Park.
Distances include:
- 10 pool lengths (five laps) swim
- 5K trail run (3.2 miles)
Race categories include individual adult (ages 18 and over), individual youth (ages 17 and under), a relay option where one athlete swims and another runs, and a standalone 5K trail run. Swim heats will be run in groups with a rolling schedule and time for warmup between heats.
Electronic timing chips worn on the ankle record split times for swim, transition, and run. A designated transition area (green carpet) requires competitors to keep equipment within assigned spaces. Sportsmanship rules apply and unsportsmanlike conduct can lead to disqualification.
Safety provisions include lifeguards along the swim course, medical personnel on site, and water stations on the run course. Participants should use appropriate swimwear and goggles; a tri suit is recommended for easier transition. Running shoes are required and trail-friendly shoes are advised for the woods trails. Pool changing rooms are available but time spent in transition counts toward overall time.
Organizers monitor weather and may postpone or cancel for severe conditions. No refunds are offered; cancellations may allow deferment to a future date or alternate event. Donations support Steel City Aquatics, a local 501c3 aquatics organization offering lessons, competitive programs, lifeguard training, and community swim activities.
