"Rated Top 40 Sprint Triathlon in the Nation" by Inside Triathlon Magazine, Jan-Feb, 2007

We have held the Bassman International Distance at Bass River State Forest since 2005. The fall of 2007 we held the inaugural Bassman Half Distance Tri with 400 + participants combined between the two distances. In 2008 we will hold the inaugural SPRINT DISTANCE on Saturday, October 4 and the HALF DISTANCE on Sunday, October 5.

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. The water temperature has always been in the upper sixties for either the spring or the fall event. We strongly recommend you wear a wetsuit. The bike course is primarily right turns on country roads with wide shoulders. The 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. 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. Enjoy!
