From the organizers
Welcome to the 2nd annual Hop Forward Aquathlon, presented by French Creek Racing!
This event takes place on the first day of daylight savings time on Sunday afternoon. It features a 300m serpentine swim, 5K run, and another 300m serpentine swim. Lawrence Park Swim Club is a 25 meter outdoor pool. The water is typically heated to 82F, so the event will take place rain or shine.
NEW THIS YEAR!!! Each serpentine swim starts from the water slide in the diving well!
