The Marshall Recreation Center announces the return of the annual Indoor Triathlon at 8 a.m. Saturday, March 1, featuring a new kids’ event for 2025: the Splash and Dash.

The Indoor Triathlon is a time-based event that includes the following age divisions and multi-sports:

Youth Age Division (13-17):

  • Swim: 150 yards in the indoor pool
  • Bike: 4 miles on stationary bikes

 Adult Age Divisions (18-60+):

  • Swim: 300 yards in the indoor pool

Participant scores are based on the total distance covered during each activity, making the event accessible for both beginners and experienced athletes.
