Greyhound Splash & Dash
About this Event
You have been active all summer and you are ready to put your fitness to the test by signing up for the Greyhound Splash & Dash on Sunday, September 6th at 12:00 PM. The event will be held on the UIndy campus and will consist of either 400 yd swim in the RLFC pool and a 5K run OR 200 yd swim and 2.5K run. You can participate as an individual or as a two-person team.
The event is hosted by the University of Indianapolis Women's Triathlon Team and it is a fundraiser for the team as they continue their campaign to build a brand new locker room in the UIndy Triathlon Training Center.
Online registration is open until 10:00 PM on Friday, September 4, 2026. We will be accepting registrations on race day, but there will be a $10 late registration fee added at checkout. Race Day registration ends at 11:00 AM. Packet Pick Up will be located in the lower level of Ruth Lilly Fitness Center. Come in the main entrance and take the big open stairs to the lover level. If signing up to participate as a two-person team, only one person will need to register, but both participants will need to sign waivers on race morning.
You will be given a race bib number that must be worn on the front as you finish the run. Your number will be written in Sharpy on your right and left arms and your age on your right calf. You will receive a finish split time for your swim. Your transition time will be rolled into your run time.
The swim will be a time trial start with a snake format. Participants will be organized for their start position based off of their declared 200 yard swim time. The first person in their heat will jump in feet first and then each following person will jump in every 5 seconds. Each swimmer will swim a 25 yard length in lane 8, duck under the lane line and swim back 25 yards in lane 7, duck under the next lane line and swim out in lane 6, duck under and back in lane 5. Every swimmer will continue this pattern until they swim back in lane 1 for eight total lengths which is 200 yards. Then, participants will climb out of the pool and either return to lane 8 to swim the snake all over again to make the total swim 400 yards for the Long Course or head out to transition for the Short Course.
There are a number of different categories with the top 2 finisher in each being recognized with awards. Youth 6-9, Youth 10-14, Junior 15-18, UIndy Student, UIndy Alumni under 40, UIndy Alumni 40+, UIndy Faculty/Staff under 40, UIndy Faculty/Staff 40+, 19-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70, 70+, All Age Non-Binary, Male Team, Female Team, Mixed/Non-Binary Team, USAT Collegiate Club and Women's NCAA Varsity.
