The Splash Dash 5K, Kids' Sprint and Amphibious Run makes its debut as a brand-new addition to the 2026 Race Series at the Daniel Stowe Conservancy on Saturday, March 28, 2026. Located in Belmont, NC, this event offers a unique trail running experience through early spring blooms and lakefront views. Beyond the standard 5K, the event introduces an "amphibious" category involving both running and kayaking, as well as a dedicated sprint for children, all centered around the picturesque Village at Stowe.
| Race Category | Distance / Activity | Start Time | Current Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Splash Dash 5K | 5 km Trail Run | 9:00 AM | $39.05 |
| Amphibious Run | 5k Run + 0.5 Mile Kayak | 9:00 AM | $54.95 |
| Kids' Sprint | 0.25 Mile Loop | 9:00 AM | $12.95 |
Participation and Logistics
The 5K course winds through the Conservancy’s trail system with views of Lake Wylie. Amphibious racers will veer off-course at the halfway point to transition into provided kayaks (PFDs and paddles included), paddle around Boy Scout Island, and return to the trail to finish. The Kids' Sprint takes place on the Big Pond Loop, which is fully visible from the Trailhead Store for easy parental spectating. All racers receive free entry to the Gardens at Stowe following the race. Post-race activities at the Trailhead Store include coffee, beer, wine, and hydration as part of the "Outdoors for All" weekend.
Registration Deadlines
Regular registration pricing is available through Friday, March 27, 2026. "Last Chance" pricing begins on race day, March 28. Note that the Amphibious Run has limited capacity, with only 26 spots remaining as of the latest update. Custom awards will be presented to the top three overall male and female finishers in the 5K and Amphibious categories, with additional age group awards specifically for the 5K. For further information or questions regarding the kayaking transition, event contact Rachel Andrea is the primary resource.
