    Lake Hopatcong “Tri”s Harder

    Join us for the 3rd Annual Lake Hopatcong Sprint Triathlon Challenge, presented by Saint Clare’s Health! Whether you’re going solo or racing as a team, this event is all about pushing yourself, cheering each other on, and celebrating the strength of our community.

    Sprint Triathlon Distances:

    400m Swim

    12.5 Mile Bike

    3.1 Mile Run

    Your Registration Includes:

    A super-soft race shirt

    Custom finisher’s medal

    Relay Option – Share the Fun:

    Want to take on the triathlon with your crew? Relay teams of two or three athletes can divide the swim, bike, and run however they like. Maybe one teammate does the swim, another tackles the bike, and the last handles the run—or double up if someone’s feeling ambitious. Friends, family, coworkers—everyone’s welcome. All ages and team combos are encouraged! Just make sure to register as a group.

    Course Overview:

    Start with a 400-meter open water swim at Crescent Cove Beach in Hopatcong. From there, hit the road for a beautiful AND challenging 12.5-mile bike course through the Northwood section of town and into Jefferson before looping back. Finish strong with a 3.1-mile out-and-back run along Lakeside Blvd to Maxim Glen and back—where a big finish line celebration awaits.

    Support the Cause – Fundraising Perks:

    We’re proud to support our local Lake area PBAs. Raise $150 or more and score a ridiculously comfy, ultra-fabulous race sweater courtesy of Live Run Give LLC. It’s our way of saying thanks for going the extra mile.

    About Lake Hopatcong:

    Lake Hopatcong is the largest freshwater lake in New Jersey—a year-round destination for boating, kayaking, swimming, fishing, and more. With 45 miles of shoreline, you’ll find marinas, waterfront dining, public beaches, and a laid-back vibe just 40 miles from NYC. It’s the perfect spot for a race-cation or a quick escape.

    About Trail Fest:

    FEAR Trail Fest is a 5 mile lollipop loop trail race in Lewis Morris Park in Morristown, NJ. The course is run mostly on the Yellow Trail in Lewis Morris Park. It’s a runnable course with a mix of rocks, roots, and some good climbs totaling around 600 feet of elevation gain. The course starts with a wide section on the Patriots Path before moving to single track for the full Yellow Trail loop before traversing the short section of the Patriots Path again back to the finish. The course is meant to attract runners looking to tackle their first trail race, or an experienced veteran on the trails looking to have a fun and fast race! Hikers are welcome too, with a generous 2:30 hour time limit.

    Additionally, we will host course previews (see dates below) on the actual course so no one needs to go into the race blindly. These course previews are free and will be educational and informative if you’ve never run trails before or have never been to Lewis Morris Park.

    Sustainability:

    Trail Fest is going cupless! Hydrapak will be providing reusable cups for runners to be used before, during, and after the race for all their electrolyte needs.

    Additionally, we are ditching traditional PVC-made race bibs and going with hemp bibs. These are much more environmentally friendly versus old traditional bibs.

    Logistics:

    Who: Everyone’s invited (but limited to 120 runners)! New trail runners, experienced trail runners and hikers. We’ll even adopt road runners for the day!

    What: A 5 mile trail race (route below)!

    Where: Lewis Morris Park Sunrise Lake Dr., Morristown, NJ 07690. Once you get to this road, keep driving until you see the lot.

    When: Sunday, November 23, 2025 starting at 9AM

    Why: Why not! What else could you possibly be doing on a Sunday morning?

    Giveaways:

    – Root Runners will be providing prize packages to the 1st and 2nd place male and female finishers.

    – Brooks Running will be raffling off 3 pairs of shoes.

    – Feetures has donated 6 pairs of socks to be raffled off to our runners.

    – SPIbelt provided us with 3 race belts to be raffled off, too.
