The 12th annual Splat Jr. Obstacle Course brings tons of muddy fun to the Gans Creek Recreation Area on Saturday, July 12, 2025.
Splat will have walls, pipes, tires, climbing, crawling, cheering, encouragement, and of course, SO MUCH MUD! Depending on age, participants will complete a 1K (4 to 5 year-olds), 2K (6 to 8 year-olds, or 3K (8 to15 year-olds). The Splat course and obstacles are designed to be age-appropriate in terms of difficulty and distance. This event has 10 waves (start times), each with a 125-participant cap. Waves 6-10 (8* to 15 year-olds) are great for siblings and groups (birthday party, youth group, sports team, etc.) with kids in more than one age group who want to participate together. Each wave has a 125-participant cap, so register early! Registration opens on March 5, 2025.
PLEASE REGISTER PRIOR TO FRIDAY, JUNE 13, 2025 TO BE GUARANTEED YOUR PREFERRED SHIRT SIZE.
REGISTRATION WILL CLOSE ON THURSDAY, JULY 10, 2025 AT NOON. THERE WILL BE NO EVENT DAY REGISTRATION.
