Splash & Dash Biathlon
Saturday, October 16, 2010
An amphibious assault is coming to Kaneohe Bay. As they are trained to do, the Marines and Sailors aboard MCB Hawaii will be passionately hitting the surf and the turf around the Marine Corps Air Facility. This is not a training exercise, it for real. It is the Splash & Dash Biathlon. The race begins with a 500-meter open water swim, then grab your running shoes and head around the flight line for the five-kilometer foot race. Running by the flight line enhances the race by giving participants a military feel during their run. The scenery is beautiful and runners get a chance to run on an active taxiway and see military aircraft.
