Could a triathlon be coming to Jersey Shore? Some parents and local officials are exploring the idea as a way to bring people into town, showcase the Jersey Shore swimming pool, and provide some activity and entertainment for families.
Every year, several Jersey Shore families head down to Lewisburg to participate in the Lewisburg Area Recreational Authority's kids triathlon. The swimming leg starts in their newly renovated Lewisburg Community Pool, a bike ride to the nearby industrial park and finishes with a run on the paths in the Lewisburg Community Park. Their event is open to boys and girls from 7 to 14 years of age.
Their event is non-competetive and meant to introduce children to the sport and get them active at an early age.
Some local officials might be traveling down with the Jersey Shore families this year to get an idea on how this could be implemented in our community.
If you visit their webpage, they have a saying at the bottom that is pretty cool. “A Community That Plays Together...Stays Together”
