In 2023, Marshall Recreation launched a series of community events crafted to offer enjoyable competitions. Beyond the thrill of these gatherings lies a laudable cause. A substantial portion of each event’s registration fee directly contributes to the recently established Scholarship and Development Fund.
Sponsored by the Marshall Recreation Center, this fund is a focal point for the Student Recreation Council, playing a pivotal role in fostering the development of our dedicated staff. It not only provides cash scholarships to students it also offers financial assistance to all staff through leadership experiences, facilitating conference participation, and aiding in career development both within and beyond Campus Rec—thus shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
Marshall Rec Indoor Triathlon & Kids Splash and Dash
March 1st 2025
The Marshall Recreation Center’s Annual Triathlon is the Tri-States only indoor triathlon event. The event features swimming, biking, and running…INDOORS! Participants will swim 300 yards in the pool, followed by an 8-mile spin on the indoor cycling bikes & 2 miles on the treadmills. The event is fun for children, adults, and spectators! Proceeds go towards the student development of our staff by providing them with leadership experiences and assisting them with conference participation and careers inside and outside of Campus Rec.
New this year, we’re excited to introduce the Splash and Dash! This addition is designed for younger participants, offering a fun and engaging swim-and-run experience tailored to kids ages 5–12. It’s a perfect way to inspire the next generation of triathletes while enjoying a family-friendly event.
