Just minutes from I-95 this mid-season Sprint/Olympic race is fast, flat and easy to get to. Staged out of beautiful Lums Pond State Park in Bear, Delaware this is a great race for elite and novice athletes alike. The freshwater swim starts with a rectangular course that parallels the shore for the first 250 meters. The bike course is super fast and completes a large loop around the park. This course is completely flat, all right hand turns and has great pavement throughout. The run course is amazing with a beautiful, heavily forested mix of single track lake views and wide open graveled walking paths. There are mountain biking, hiking and running trails galore as well as the GoApe ropes course. Or you can relax with friends post race at Stewarts Brewing Company on the way home.

The North East Triathlon is an amazing race in a beautiful location. Just minutes from I-95, a Chesapeake Bay time trial swim and well paved country roads along Elk Neck State Forest make this a great race. The course is low traffic, hilly and technical in places, but has plenty of straightaways and beautiful views. The run course is a lightly rolling, out and back course on the shoulder heading south of town. This Chesapeake Bay waterfront town is worth a weekend away, there are plenty of boats, parks, restaurants and roads to explore.
We know you will love this race, watch our race video to learn more.

Dustin was an accomplished athlete and great student. He was a champion wrestler while in High School and a captain of the wrestling team. He was a “Two-Time Wrestler of the Year” for Today’s Sunbeam. After High School, while attending Wilmington University, Dustin started running. He competed in many Triathlons and Half Iron Man Events. Once he completed two years at Wilmington University, where he was on the Dean’s List each semester, he moved to Delray Beach, Florida for a fresh start to find his way in life. On August 30, 2012 his life was tragically taken from us from a random act of violence.
Dustin made you smile the moment he came into a room. He loved to make others laugh and was never afraid to laugh at himself. In his life he was an inspiration to all who knew and loved him. No matter what he was going through personally, he always had time to make you feel better about any circumstances you may be facing.
In his memory, The Dustin Deckard Scholarship was established, Tax ID #46-0893602, to continue the work he would of done if he was still with us. More than 30 scholarships have been awarded to date.
