2025 Run Jump Splash Memorial Weekend

RJS Celebrates Memorial Day in a BIG way!

• We will have at least one specialty event (AR or HD) and 4 distance jumps each day of this 4-day event!
• Discounts for active/retired military! 
• Friday begins later in the day with Distance Jumps starting at 2pm and then HydroDash at 6:30 pm. Get off work and head on over!
• Saturday begins at 9am. We will have a special salute for our fallen troops, as well as our beginning of the season bumper toss to honor those dogs that have crossed the rainbow bridge. AR split between Noon and 5pm. We'll run as many dogs as we can between 12 - 1pm (first come, first served), and remaining entries at 5pm. 
• Sunday begins at 10am. Sleep in or come after church! HD at 1pm.
• Monday begins at 9:30am with Air Retrieve! 4 Distance jumps to follow. 
• H.AR.D. Charger Awards!
• NOTE: We will be using the Nerf Bumper for this event. 

 Registration, Check-In and Payment

• Pre-registration is recommended, but we will accept Day-Of entries provided there are spots available. All spots are on a first come basis, as this is the fairest for everyone. If you are active military or a veteran, RJS will give you a 10% discount on splashes at this event! 
• You can Pre-pay per NADD guidelines, but it is not required. We will accept PayPal, credit card, cash or check at check-in.
• Per NADD rules, all cancellations must be done no less than 14 days before the event starts. ALL preregistered splashes must be paid for at check in. If changes need to be made, we can move splashes around to a different day, but they cannot be removed once registration closes. A competitor can choose to pay for all the splashes they entered and scratch to avoid a no-show.
• Check-in starts 1 hour before the first splash each day. 
• Splash check-in will close 1/2 hour before each splash begins. 
• Be sure to sign all necessary waivers at check-in.

Rules, Run Orders and Ribbons

•  It is your responsibility to read and follow NADD and Run Jump Splash Facility Rules.
• Our 21x50 regulation pool will open for practice 1 hour before the first splash each day. Competitor dogs can also “get wet” in our 13x25 pool any time during the day, taking turns with other competitors and Try-It dogs.
• We will have brief handler meetings before each splash. Each handler must attend a meeting before their first splash of the day.
• Running order will be A-Z all days.
• You will be responsible to pick up your own Blue qualifying ribbons at a designated station.
• Specialty Ribbons will be available as soon as possible as scores are entered and double-checked.

Try-its

Run Jump Splash has a separate, 13x25 foot pool available for Try-its.

Try-its cost $10.00 per day (4 minutes on the dock at a time) on this pool.

H.AR.D. Charger Awards!

RJS will award the Top 3 H.AR.D. Chargers in each gem division!

RJS also has a SEASON H.AR.D. Charger Program! We tally your best 3 RJS Event Scores over the course of the season. Award Winners are announced at our last event of the year (end of September). 

Food

RJS has been known to work with local restaurants to provide free or reduced-cost lunch for our competitors on Saturdays!  There are also fast-food restaurants in Mitchell, about 10 minutes away. Orleans has a few good dining options as well, including our good friends at El Compadre and Speakeasy Pizza, or head to French Lick for some casino and resort-inspired fine dining.

Air Conditioned, Indoor Restroom!

Just say no to porta-potties! Our safe, secure, and spacious restroom is available to all competitors and remains available for all campers throughout the night.
