A DIY race experience where every child feels like a superhero crossing the finish line!
Complete your event between August 22th - September 21th
(or as many times a you'd like! It's your DIY Event!)
Looking for a fun DIY race experience for your child during COVID-19? CORE Foundation is here to save the day! We’ve turned our 3rd annual Reston Youth Superhero Splash and Dash into a fun-filled “virtual’ experience with the power and excitement of our in-person event.
After registering for a DIY Event Kit, participants complete the activities for the event on their own time in the place of their choosing and still receive all of the great swag and medals that they would in a live experience. We will provide all of the tools that you will need to create your own event experience at home including a cape, a medal, finish line tape, chalk, superhero crafts, a Safe Sport activity book, crayons or colored pencils, and all of the instruction that your child needs to be a superhero athlete!
DIY Event Kits include:
- A Cape
- A bandana/mask
- A race medal
- Superhero crafts
- A jumprope
- Sidewalk Chalk
- BARE Snacks
- Chick-fil-A North Point goody
- Crayons or colored pencils
- USA Triathlon/Safe Sport Activity Book
- Finishline tape to create a virtual finishline
So, how does a Virtual DIY Event work? The traditional Superhero Splash and Dash features a swim-run-fun format for kids ages 5-15.
No pool? No problem! Substitute the swim with your “athlete’s choice” of activity. Your young superhero will swim (hopscotch, bike, playing catch, etc.…) and then run the suggested distance based on their age anytime between August 22nd and September 21st on your chosen Event Day in the place of your choosing. Your young athlete may even have so much fun that they decide to race again and again! The point is to have fun and get moving and have them feel fantastic about their achievement.
