Participants will have their opportunity to take part in all the fun events throughout the course.

You can still purchase a "Young Gun Package" for your children under 7 for $8 (this includes everything a participant would receive with their participant package).
Participants are encouraged to bring their own water guns to enhance their squirt-ability and give themselves an edge against the rest of the runners.
As we encourage everyone to have fun with the Flathead Valley's largest water fight and spray each other, we would like to request that everyone please be aware of and respect other participants. There are children taking part in the event, non-participants using the sidewalks & bike paths as well as volunteers helping in specific areas. Please be respectful towards them. Do not squirt people directly in the face or unfairly take advantage of the fact you have a water gun. That being said, HAVE FUN & GET SOAKED!!!
The fine folks from Whitefish Therapy & Sport Center will be on hand at the event headquarters to offer information on techniques and treatments you can receive or take part in to help you with any physical ailment you may encounter in life. Make sure to stop by their tent and check them out online @ www.whitefishtherapy.com
We will see you at the largest water fight this summer!
FAQs
What can/can't I bring to the event?
Participants are going to be getting SOAKED! Therefore, wear something you are willing to get drenched! Please feel free to bring your own massive water gun.

Ladies, we caution you on wearing white...... Nuff said :)
