Hightstown Triathlon Race Director Darek Hahn said, “Partnering with 365Competitors allows us to deliver valuable peace of mind to our athletes. They can register with the confidence that if injury or illness prevents them from participating, their registration fee is protected. The fact that 365Competitors is also a New Jersey-based business is a nice bonus as we love the opportunity to support fellow local organsations.”
The Hightstown Triathlon is comprised of two races. The first on 24 September is a kid’s event for children ranging in age from 7-13. It includes a 100 yard swim, 3 mile bike ride and a 1 mile run. The course is safe, flat, fast and fun – great for first-timers. Up to 150 young athletes will be accepted.
The adult event takes place on 25 September and includes a quarter mile swim, 15 mile bike ride and a 5K run. Swimming takes place in beautiful Peddie Lake. Biking and running courses lead athletes through surrounding tree-lined towns of Robbinsville, East Windsor and Hightstown Borough. Up to 350 adult athletes will be accepted.
