Survival of the Mills: 5-Stage Triathlon & Duathlon #

🏃‍♂️ABOUT THE RACE

Trident Multisport was established in 2012 with the idea of bringing quality multisport events to our local area and has worked hand and hand with DQ Events and their staff for over the last 12 years. We have established some high-quality, fun, safe events that include the Phoenix Sprint, the Stafford Sprint &: Run for HOPE, and the Brookville Olympic/Sprint.

I have always wanted to have a race at Wells Mills because of the unique, beautiful trails it offers. Taking a small idea from the Survival of the Shawangunks Triathlon, I created something unique and special here in NJ with the help of the Wells Mills County Park and Citta Boyscout Camp. You won't find any other race like this around. - Ross Reynolds, Race Director

🏅WHAT IS IT?

Survival of the Mills

Come out and finish up your 2025 season with a challenging Tri/Du. If you have never been to Wells Mills County Park you are missing out on some of the best running and hiking trails around. The run courses will take you out on the main trail and then end with some awesome challenging single-track trails. The last 1/4 mile has you navigating foot bridges and beautiful tall cedar trees. It doesn't matter if you are a serious athlete/ runner or just someone that wants to take in some scenery, this race course is a must-do.

Triathlon

📏DISTANCES

Wells Mills County Park will host a “one of a kind” event this fall. Multisport athletes will be challenged to a very unique and technical 5-stage triathlon or duathlon covering some very challenging terrain. The run has great single track trails that wind you through tall cedars and over long foot bridges.

Same great trail runs as the original Survival race just a little different order of stages. Nice lake swim and a not so flat road bike course, just not the double bike leg which I know some of you loved and some of you not so much!
