  • On Sunday, September 28, 2008 at 7:30 AM, the Borough of Hightstown will host its first Hightstown Sprint Triathlon, sponsored by Matrix Properties.
  • The sprint triathlon course will be comprised of a .25 mile swim, a 10 mile bike ride, and a 5k run.
  • The .25 mile swim course, sponsored by K & H Counseling & Jersey Area Multisport, will be set on beautiful Peddie Lake. This scenic location allows plenty of room for spectators to enjoy an ideal view of the events, since the lakefront will also serve as the transition area for the bike and run course.
  • The 10-mile bike course, sponsored by the Bicycle Rack, includes two loops through the tree-lined streets of Hightstown.
  • The 5k run course, sponsored by Premier Physical Therapy, will wind through the Peddie Schools campus with a dramatic finish across the main footbridge of Peddie Lake.
  • Out of all of the triathlons Ive attended, this course should provide the best views of the race for spectators. They will be able to see the entire swim leg in Peddie Lake, portions of the bike leg as they go across the bridge, and views of the run as the competitors cross the finish line, says event organizer Darek Hahn.
  • The triathlon course will be fun, flat, and fast; this is a great event for first-timers as well as serious athletes.
  • Proceeds from the triathlon will support the construction of a proposed skatepark in Hightstown.
