MODIFICATIONS FOR A SAFE START- We will be using a chip-timed, "open start" format which has been successfully used in various races around the state. We will start our full field of 1000 all at once.
YOUR ‘CHIP TIME’ STARTS WHEN YOU CROSS THE START LINE. If you are more comfortable starting a distance behind the “group” your 5K course time will start only when you cross the line. AWARDS ARE BASED ON NET/CHIP TIME.
PLEASE PREPARE FOR A SAFE START- If you are truly at a speedier running level (6-7min pace per mile or under), we urge you to be at the start early and ready to go at 6:30 pm. This will avoid crowding on the course and help everyone to run more safely. Thanks!

NEW FOR 2026: PLEASE READ!!!- UPDATED
For 2026 all Prospect Park and Floyd Bennett Field races will be timed using active timing chips(Except for Cat 5 races). The chips will allow us to provide faster, live results along with lap time reports, KOM and Sprint results, updated series standings and other features to be added at later dates. You must have a timing chip to be scored in the KOM or Sprint competitions.
All riders in the Cat 2-3, Women Open and Masters 40+ will need to have a timing chip to race. Riders in the Cat 4/5 race will NOT need a chip. Timing chips are available to purchase along with your registration as a merchandise item. If you are a CRCA member and already have a chip you DO NOT need to buy a chip. If you have a chip for the NJ TT or CX series, you DO NOT need to buy a chip. If you purchased a chip for the Lucarelli & Castaldi Prospect Series you DO NOT need to buy a chip. Basically, if you already own a red, Race Result chip you are good to go. If you are here on vacation and only plan on racing one race, please contact me and we will sort you out so you don't have to purchase a chip.
The chips are guaranteed to work for a minimum of 5 years and can be used in multiple different series. Currently, the chips will work for CRCA races, both Prospect Series, FBF Tues nights, NJ TT Series and NJ CX series. More races and series will be added shortly.
The chip cost is $75 and you will own and be responsible for your chip. If you decide at any time that you do not want to participate in either of the Prospect series you can return the chip for a pro-rated refund. You will receive a refund equal to your original purchase price minus a rental fee of $5 per race you have entered. For example, if you have entered 4 races you would receive a $55 refund($75-$20). Only riders who purchased a chip for the FBF or PP series are eligible for this refund program.

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.

Cedar Lake Triathlon Summer 2026 Season - Race #5
This is the fifth of our 6 race summer series held every other Thursday night at Cedar Lake for local, grassroots racing at its best.
For 2026, we will offer two races:
Individual and Relay Sprint Triathlon: Our individual and relay sprint triathlons consists of a 500(ish) yard lake swim, a 10 mile bike, and a 5k road run. They are perfect races for first timers who want to see what they can achieve, experienced triathletes looking to fine tune for a longer fall race, or anyone who just wants an active, family summer Thursday evening. We have awards for both the fast and the first (timers), and lots for those in between. Relay teams are welcome and celebrated. Wetsuits are encouraged when the water temperature is below 80 degrees, and strongly encouraged for at least the first two races. Aqua jogging is not permitted.
Super Sprint Triathlon: Returning for its second season is our popular super sprint race: all of the triathlon experience just in a smaller package! The super sprint consists of a 200(ish) yard swim, a 5mile bike, and a 1.7 mile run. First timers love this race: you can start your Thursday as a regular human, finish it as a Triathlete, and let us share the joy of your success with special prizes (and a whole lot of positive energy!!). Younger races are welcome, but you have to be 13 to toe the line. And we love families. If your child is racing, you can race with them for free as long as you accompany them for the entire race. Swim, bike and run with your child; it's a priceless family experience.
Gun Times:
Super Sprint: 6:10 p.m
Individual / Relay Sprint: 6:15 p.m.
Preregistration: Racers must preregister. Register early to secure both a spot and a lower entry fee, which will increase on race day. Last season, the races sold out several times and once we hit our cap, we can't accept any more entries.
Online registration will close at 5:00 p.m. on each race day. There will be no onsite registration this year.
Race day check in starts at 5:00 p.m. and all registered racers must be checked in by 5:45 p.m.
First Time? Come on down to Cedar Lake!! We love first timers and a significant part of our weekly field of racers are athletes getting their feet wet for the first time. In transition, you will see every type of bike racked and ready to race: from expensive carbon TT bikes headed for an Ironman to hybrid bikes and even the occasional beach cruiser. Not sure you can do a triathlon? Finding out is half the fun. Over 95% of our racers finish each week. We don't use cutoff times, except for later in the season as the sun starts to set earlier (typically the last race or two). Not sure exactly how it works? We have lots of friendly experienced volunteers and even a certified tri coach on site on race days to explain the mysteries of buoy turns, transition and equipment. Before you race, be sure that you can swim 20 pool lengths without stopping for the full sprint, or 10 pool lengths for the super sprint. Aqua jogging is not permitted.
Come join us this summer!
Inclement Weather: In the event of inclement weather on race day, the race organizers reserve the right to change the race to a duathlon, a 5K or cancel the race.
