The James River Splash and Dash is a competitive race and flat water tube. Participants run a trail course, grab a tube, paddle (with their hands) across a stretch of the James, and run their tube to the finish line. After the race, JRA hosts an after party that includes a band, food, beer and more!

The Richmond event is located near Belle Isle on July 14, 2012 with the after party located at Historic Tredegar.

The Lynchburg event will be held on July 28, 2012 on Percival's Island and the after party will be located at The Depot Grille.

These events are fundraisers for the James River Association.
