Splash and Dash 2025 - Jackson, MS
In coordination with our Summer Exhibit - Measurement Rules
We invite you to The Dash will be half a mile down Spotter's Trail and around the playground, passing by the Den. Morgan, I know this is late in the game and you've already planned the balloon arches for the year, but do you think we could get one for the start/finish line? We can talk some more about that, but in my head the start/finish will both be at the start of Spotter's Trail. We are also planning to get some color powder (like they do for Color Runs!) to throw on guests as they run around the track. I have to do a little research on this, but it's part of the appeal of getting the white t-shirt. A change of clothes should probably be encouraged if they intend to stay and play at the museum after!
We would really like to open up registration this weekend at Super-Lympics. We can have a QR code at the front desk/safety table where guests can scan and pull up the registration page right there. Registration will close May 22nd so there's time to send off the shirt order and have it done in time.
The way the day will go is:
- 7:00am - t-shirt pickup and on site registration
- 8:00am - Dash starts
- 9:00am - museum opens & hopefully all runners are finished
- 9:00-10:00 special water activities & treats (probably popsicles) will happen on the splash pad for runners. (But we won't turn away guests who want to play in the splash pad and get wet)
- Special station where runners can spray their shirts with vinegar to set the color and put it in a gallon Ziplock bag to take home.
- 10:00am-3:00pm - regular event activities inside the museum
Please register each child and adult that will attend. Thank you!
