NORTH CAPE MAY – An estimated 1,750 athletes and their families were in Lower Township for the third annual Escape the Cape Triathlon Sunday, June 14.
The athletes began the USA Triathlon sanctioned event by leaping 10-feet from the MV Twin Capes ferry vessel into the Delaware Bay and swam ashore, continuing with a bike course on scenic roadways and ending with a run to the finish line.
The event consisted of three separate races taking place simultaneously. The Sprint Triathlon consisted of a .35-mile swim, 10-mile bike, and 5k run. The International Triathlon consisted of a one-mile swim, 20-mile bike and five-mile run, and the International Aquabike consisted of a one-mile swim and 20-mile bike.
