~ Ideally, the bike should have shifting gears, *knobby tires (no slick or bald tires), well-fitted, and in great working condition.
*Please take your bike to a bike shop for a tune up before camp begins: a bike that breaks on the trail can be a real bummer. Make sure the brakes work, the chain is not rusty or stiff, the tires are in good condition (no dry-rot) and all the nuts and bolts are secure.
~A well-fitted helmet in great condition. No cracks or dents- protect those noggins.
~A water bottle (or two) or a hydration pack
~Closed-toe, secure shoes. No sandals, flip-flops-or crocs.
~Snacks (none sharing). Nutritious, skip the high sugar. The rider is the engine, proper nutrition before and during camp will make for a better experience.
~Personal medicine if needed: Inhalers, Epipens..etc.
For Adventure Bike Camp: most bikes are great. While a mountain bike is ideal, if you have a traditional single-gear bike, we can work with you! Reach out to us [email protected], give us a heads up.
Highly Recommended:
~protective eyewear
~sunscreen & bug/tick repellent
~bike gloves
~padded bike shorts ?TRUST US!
Please reach out to your local bike shop now, to make sure your kiddo has a great camp experience later!
*All bikes should have a tune-up at least once a year.
Doing so saves money, keeps your bike in good condition, can prevent mechanical failures, and offers safety and security while riding your bike.
*Make sure: the brakes work, the tires are NOT dry rotted and have good tread, fill up the tires with air to make sure the inner-tubes are in great working order. ~~*If the tires loose air, that means the bike needs new inner-tubes.
*Make sure the chain is not rusty, it has been properly oiled and moves freely along the gears.
*If your bike has gears, please make sure all the gars can work, and that the chain works well on the gears.
Don't hesitate to take your bike to a bike shop to have them take a look and see how they can help you get your bike in great working order!

2025 race dates are: 5/5, 6/2, 6/23, 7/21, 8/4, and 8/25.
Each race will be scheduled on Tuesday afternoon/evening with Thursday as a rain date. For all dates, we are offering both a 800m and 1600m series option.
Race address: 1400 S. Trooper Rd., Norristown, PA. This GPS address will get you to the parking lot. From the lot, walk the short paved path toward the river and make a left until you see our launch/starting point. We are approximately 300 yards downstream from the 422 bridge. Absolutely no parking in front of our launch area.
Swimmers should be confident of their ability to swim 800/1600 meters in open water before entering.
We follow USAT's guidelines for use of wetsuits. Anything below 78ºF will be wetsuit legal and above 78º will be non-wetsuit. Anyone who wishes to wear a wetsuit above 78ºF will simply compete as an unofficial racer.
FORMAT: Swimmers will go off in small groups at specified wave start times. The first swimmers will begin at 5:00 PM. Swimmers will get to choose their heats at 30 minute intervals, including the "party" heat at 6:30PM. 1600 meter swimmers must start no later than 6:00PM.
REGISTRATION: Pre-registration is available until 9AM on race day. Registration is also available on site for an additional $5 fee. You will select your wave start time during the registration process. If you need to change your start wave, please email us. Aim to arrive at least 30 minutes prior to your assigned wave time. You may warm up in the vicinity of the start/finish dock prior to your wave start time. Please do not swim downstream on the race course and remain within sight of the starting platform. When you arrive, check in at our table. You'll get body marked and you'll receive a swim cap. A bright colored cap or New Wave Swim Buoy must be worn by all racers. Please let us know in advance if you need to purchase a NWSB.
All series racers registered by 4/4 will receive a series t-shirt, and a custom award.
REFUNDS: No refunds will be issued. If requested at least 7 days in advance, we will be able to transfer your funds to a different training or race event.

Directions to Norristown Location:
From Trooper Rd. exit of 422, head toward the Betzwood trailhead on Trooper Rd. Make a left at the "T" to go under 422. Make another left to the parking lot and walk the short paved path to the starting point. We are approximately 300 yards downstream from the 422 bridge.
The 800m swim course will start slightly upriver, then about 390 meters downriver, returning upriver to the finish line. For more details, please review our Swim Course Map. The 1600m swim course will be 2 laps of the 800m course.
SWIM FINISH: These races will be hand timed. Your time will stop when you touch the floating dock start/finish.
It is suggested that swimmers bring their own pre-race food and drinks. If there is anything you need, please bring it from home!
Restrooms: No restroom facilities onsite. Please make sure you use the bathroom before you arrive. The nearest bathroom facility is at the Betzwood trailhead, about 600 meters from our launch point. No changing room on site.
PLEASE READ: INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY:
OPEN WATER SERIES EVENT OCCUR IN A RIVER SUBJECT TO FLOW AND RUNOFF CONDITIONS. All races will be held rain or shine. Two things will cause the race to be postponed: 1) Lightning in the area, and 2) water quality due to stormwater runoff. Generally, we will use www.phillyrivercast.org as a guideline of water quality. Ultimately, we will make a call by 12 noon and email registrants as well as posting it on our Facebook page at that time. Rain dates are typically Thursday of the same week, unless we post otherwise. If there is light rain during the event, we will still swim. WE WILL DO OUR BEST TO KEEP YOU INFORMED OF CONDITIONS, BUT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE RIVER, WE CANNOT GUARANTEE ANY RACE TO BE HELD AT THE TIME INDICATED. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND FLEXIBILITY!
Prizes
Custom awards will be given for the top 3 in each category and age group, based on points scored in each race. Award winners must be present at the final race of the season (8/25) to claim their awards.
Volunteers
Volunteers are the backbone of our events! We need lifeguaurds, kayakers, and much more. Please contact [email protected] to help out, or simply register as a volunteer!

IMPORTANT REMINDER:
Please remember,
this event is untimed and for FUN!
It's not a race.
It's a time to enjoy good friends, family and being outside...(oh and wine😁)
Please just take your time and enjoy the beauty around you when jogging or walking through the vines.
This course is not designed to be run fast.
Most of the course is on grass.
And as everyone knows, there are always deviations in grass.
Please be cognizant of your footing and pay attention to your surroundings.
🍷
What else can you expect….
After you jog/walk the vines and cross the finish line and collect your much deserved finisher's medal,
plan on sticking around for some wine tasting,
grape juice tasting & free snow cones for the kids!
Plus, we will have FOOD TRUCKS at the event!
(So bring some money and come hungry)
The Scoogie Events Crew can't wait to see everyone at Bishop Estate Vineyard & Winery on Wednesday!

Sponsored by the Perkasie Rotary Club and the Free Will Brewing Company, the race benefits the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) of Bucks County. Race time is at 9:30 with registration opening at 8:30. Awards follow each race. The race uses the flat, fast, and shaded course in Perkasie's Lenape Park. Both the 5K and 10K start together with 5K runners doing one loop and 10K runners doing two loops. Runners are able to change their distance "on the fly" until after the first loop. Runners entering the chute after the first loop will be considered to have run the 5K. Walkers are encouraged but limited to the 5K. All runners over the age of 21 will receive a coupon for a free beer. The brewery will open at 10:30 to accommodate runners. There is ample parking at the baseball fields.

FINAL RACE OF OUR SUMMER SERIES!
OUR PREDICTION RUN IS BACK!!!
HOW IT WORKS: No watches!!! At 6 PM we will set the clock to 60 minutes and it will count down to zero. You start your race at the time you think it will take you to finish. If everyone guesses correctly, everyone should finish at the same time.
This is a free 5k race series that includes 5 races held on the first Wednesday of each month from May through September.
You do not need to be an LVRR club member to participate in this series. Sign up online and come out to Lehigh Parkway for this relaxed, no-frills race.
The course is accurately measured, mostly flat, cinder trail in the Parkway. Due to scheduled repairs to Bogarts Bridge, the course is modified. Course Map
