(Springfield, Ore.) July 7, 2017— PacificSource Health Plans is donating 50 free entries to the Deschutes Splash and Dash kid’s race, held Saturday, July 15 in Bend, Oregon. The Deschutes Splash and Dash is part of the Kids Rock the Races series held throughout 2017.
To receive a free entry to the Deschutes Splash and Dash, parents need to enter the promotional code “PSSplashandDash” when registering their child at https://regtorace.com/form/870. The first 50 registrants to use the code will have their race fee waived.
Deschutes Splash and Dash participants (ages 3-10) will begin the race with a dash through pools of water and continue through a sea of tires, a slide under a moat, a traverse along a misty balance beam and a final climb up the monkey bars to the water slide finish. Older kids get to find their stride with a short run out to the river and back before sliding down the water finale.
Races begin at Noon with an award ceremony immediately following each distance and age group. The age and start time breakdown for each race is as follows:
- Noon: age 3-4
- 12:15: age 5-7
- 12:30: age 8-10
