Lake Hopatcong Sprint Triathlon Challenge Presented by Saint Clare's Health

Welcome to JORBA Fest 2026! This annual fundraiser for JORBA allows us to continue to be your advocate for better trails and additional trail access throughout New Jersey. We're super stoked to return to Stephens State Park for 2026 - let us show you around some new trails and fun features! It's also a great opportunity to check out the latest gear from bike manufacturers and local bike shops!
