THE STORY BEHIND THE BIG BANG MILE
The Bell Works building was once a primary location for Bell Laboratories. “Bell Labs” attracted top-notch scientists to conduct basic research that might advance telephony. Two such scientists, Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson, studied radio signals from space in support of the Telstar project. In 1964, to their surprise, they observed a background noise coming from every direction in the sky. Wherever they pointed their radio telescope, they measured the same frequency and strength of microwave radiation. Puzzled, Penzias and Wilson conferred with colleagues. Princeton University astronomer Robert Dicke revealed they had found evidence for the Big Bang. This is a theory that the universe started with an explosion 13.8 billion years ago. For their important contribution to science, Penzias and Wilson were awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1978.
The radio telescope used by Penzias and Wilson still stands today. It is located on top of Crawford Hill, about 2 miles northwest of the Bell Works facility. A nearby plaque explains its significance. It is worth a visit. In fact, Holmdel Township has purchased the 30 acres that surround the antenna and will convert it into Dr. Robert Wilson Park.
The Shore Athletic Club, New Jersey's oldest running club, dedicates the Big Bang Mile Race to scientists everywhere. We hope that runners draw inspiration from this story to learn more about STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and perhaps even pursue a STEM career. Aim high!

RACE COURSE (Road & Fixed)
record is here: https://www.strava.com/activities/9419991115
Length: 1450 meters (0.9 miles)
Terrain: Flat
Turns: 7 right / 3 left
Direction: Clockwise
Width: 4 meters (narrowest) to 8 meters (widest)
The start/finish straight is short, measuring approximately 122 meters total, with about 65 meters from the exit of the final corner to the line.
Turns 1 and 2 form a tight chicane. Turn 1 is narrow and 90 degrees, requiring careful speed control to set up for the wider exit of Turn 2. With a single fast line through the chicane, positioning into the straight will be contested.
Turn 3 has a wide radius with a slightly uphill exit.
Turn 4 is a straightforward 90-degree corner with a wide exit.
Turn 5 follows a long arc around the trees and requires heavy braking. Limited sight lines and a narrow exit make this corner challenging. While there is runoff, riders may exit into the grass.
Turn 6 is a long, sweeping corner at the bottom of a steep downhill section. Positioning here is critical for the next turn.
Turn 7 is a classic hairpin with downhill entry and high speeds. Braking skill is essential. This corner is often decisive for the finish.
Turn 8 is a wide, fast hairpin that allows continued pedaling and positioning for the finish.
Turn 9 is a straightforward 90-degree corner with a wide exit.
Turn 10 is a fast, wide 90-degree corner that allows a sprint to develop after the exit.

The Pass it Along Triathlon at Lake Mohawk Country Club is a one day event, offering USAT Sanctioned Sprint Courses and Olympic Courses.
This event is great for both first timers and intermediate/advanced athletes. Participants can register as an individual entry, or as a relay team. The event takes place at the scenic, privately owned lake community of Lake Mohawk Country Club, located in Sparta Township, New Jersey. Parking for the event is conveniently located directly across from the transition area and swim start at the Historic Lake Mohawk Country Club Clubhouse.

The bike course consists of several hills, and directs participants through the residential countryside of Sparta, Byram and Andover Townships. The run, mostly flat, is along the eastern shore of Lake Mohawk. Participants on the bike and run courses will travel through the lake community's village center, Lake Mohawk White Deer Plaza. The finish line for the event is also located at the Lake Mohawk White Deer Plaza. The Plaza is a convenient and great place for spectators to view the athletes while on the bike and run courses, and crossing the finish line.

National Dance Institute
presents
Runs & Leaps Extravaganza!
JULY 28, 2026
On the occasion of National Dance Institute's (NDI) Founder Jacques d'Amboise's birthday, and in celebration of the organization’s 50th Anniversary, come dance with us to show your support for the importance the arts plays in all our lives. Following the success of the 2025 event, in Jackie Robinson Park in 2025, we're thrilled to expand this Runs and Leaps Extravaganza, to Central Park’s Naumburg Bandshell – just a “run and leap” from the Delacorte Theatre, home to many past NDI performances.
Under the Artistic Direction of Kay Gayner and Chirstopher d'Amboise, NDI Teaching Artists will guide current dancers, alumni, supporters, and friends of NDI as they "run and leap" across this iconic New York City site. Participants close the event with a short performance of an excerpt from a well-loved piece of NDI's repertoire - all accompanied by NDI's live band under the Music Direction of Yakir Ben Hur.
Reunite with your fellow alumni, meet the new generation of NDI dancers, and launch us into the next 50 years.
No experience is required - you'll learn everything you need to know in a short rehearsal upon arrival!
Participation is limited - register yourself or a team today!
