Just minutes from I-95 this end of 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.  Our team holds 2 weekends of Sprint/Olympic racing at Lums Pond State Park each year, so these races make for a great opportunity to measure your fitness at the beginning and end of your racing season. Plus, there are mountain biking, hiking and running trails galore as well as the GoApe ropes course.  Or or you can relax with friends post race at Stewarts Brewing Company on the way home.

This is a beautiful race that you don’t want to miss.   Be sure to check out this video HERE, then register below.

Course Details & Course Maps

Swim Course: The 1.5K Olympic swim course takes place in the 200 acre pond that is the centerpiece of Lums Pond State Park.  Averaging about 10′ in depth and being somewhat long and narrow; this creates a nice, calm swim experience that should be in the low to mid 70’s on race day. A preliminary water temperature will be posted on the website the Friday evening prior to the event. The swim start and finish area are wide open which creates great opportunities for spectating.  All athletes start by swimming parallel to shore for their first 250 meters or so. The Sprint and Olympic courses are both rectangular with orange sighting buoys located about every 75 meters and yellow triangles for turns. The water temperature in 2018-79.

Bike Course: The bike is flat and fast. After taking a right to exit the park Olympic athletes will do 3 x 6.7 mile loops around the park with all right hand turns. If you want a race that feels like a NASCAR track with aerobars, this is it. When you finish your 3rd lap, you’ll turn right back into the park for T2.  

Run Course: The run is beautiful with a heavily forested mix of lake views, single track and graveled walking paths. Lums Pond offers some amazing running and you’ll find yourself back here logging some miles after the race. These shaded trails will be nice and cool in the morning and will have aid stations about every mile serving ice water and Gatorade. Olympic athletes will do two (2) loops of the 5k run course to get their 10k in. Once you finish the race you’ll be able to spend some time at the lake talking to old friends and making new ones with plenty of post race food and music.
