Slower than most New Jersey sprint triathlons
The fastest quarter of the 2026 sprint triathlon field finished under 1:32:43, against 1:18:50 in a typical New Jersey sprint triathlon, so times here run 18 percent slower.
Compares the fastest quarter of each field, so walkers and first-timers do not skew it. It reflects the course and the field together: a flat course, cool weather, or a competitive crowd all make times faster.
Around August 22 the day usually runs from 66°F at dawn to 83°F in the afternoon, with measurable rain on about 22% of days. Cold snaps dip to 59°F and hot years reach 89°F.
