Saturday, March 28 | 9 a.m. | Race begins at The Trailhead Store Make waves this Spring with a brand new addition to our 2026 Race Series – Splash Dash! 5K participants run through the neon green of early spring blooms on our trail system with lakefront views and the most picturesque start and finish line in the The Village at Stowe. NEW! 5K + .5 Mile Kayak Racers will take part in the first ever amphibious race at Stowe! Our amphibians will start out on the 5K course and at about the halfway point, they will veer off course to a beach on Lake Wylie where kayaks will be waiting. Racers will transition to kayak and paddle the loop around Boy Scout Island on Lake Wylie before landing back on the beach. Once on dry land they will finish the 5K course. Don’t worry! Competitors will use kayaks, paddles and PFD’s provided by Stowe. If you plan to participate, you must read the 5K + Paddle Amphibious Race Info page before registering. Kids Sprint participants will run the Big Pond Loop! Kids will go all out for a quarter mile sprint around an 8-foot-wide crushed concrete loop. The best part? The loop is visible from The Trailhead Store so parents can give their kiddos a little freedom and cheer them on the entire time if they choose! Register Here
