2012 Bassman Half Distance Triathlon, Duathlon & Aquabike:

  • Bass River State Forest is located only an hour from Philadelphia and one hour and a half from the Verrazano Bridge in NYC.
  • The swim is in the calm and clear waters of Absegami Lake with the start on a well maintained and clean beach area. It will probably be one of your most enjoyable swims.
  • You will enjoy every segment and finish to a crowd of spectators who can hang out around the picnic tables and playground near the transition area.

  • The 1.2 mile swim consist of 2 loops in Absegami Lake.
  • The course is well mark with the largest orange buoys available in the market.

  • The second is at the entrance of the park before you head the second loop.

    Run:
  • The 13.2 mile run course is a fast flat run with lots of shade and on the roads and paths of the campground area of the Bass River State Park.
