The Bexley Recreation and Parks Department will host the 9th Annual Splish, Splash, & Dash Youth Triathlon, sponsored by the Bexley Community Foundation’s Anne and Sam Powers Youth and Recreation Fund, on Saturday, August 20.

The triathlon will require participants to complete a swimming, biking, and running course. With age divisions ranging from 4 to 14, varying distances will be selected for each leg that are age appropriate. This is a great opportunity for young people to set a goal, train, and accomplish their goal!
