2010 Quakerman Triathlon

Nockamixon State Park just outside of Philadelphia will host this event. The park features Lake Nockamixon. After a lake swim, the rolling terrain around the park will provide for some great biking. Our Olympic event will feature almost 38 miles of biking and the half will be just over 56 miles. The run course will wind throughout the park on bike paths and paved roads. 

New for 2010 - We've added an Aquabike division! For anyone who can not or does not want to run, you can now participate in an official swim/bike division. Follow the registration links below and select the Aquabike option if you do not wish to run.

Genesis Adventures is pleased to announce that the 2010 Quakerman is now an official partner with St. Jude Heroes Program. Participants can visit the Heroes page and create their own fund raising page then have family and friends make donations on their behalf. Click on the logo below to start fund raising now!

Run Course Maps (Olympic & Half)

Swim Course

The swim course starts on the rocky shore of Lake Nockamixon near the marina. The water temperatures range from 75-80 degrees. For the Olympic and the half event, we will have a 0.6m triangular course that you will circle clockwise. You will keep the buoys on your right. The Half will circle the course twice. The first leg is 200m and then participants will have two legs of 400m to follow for a total of 1K.  Use caution when you exit the water up the steep bank and to the transition area. You will find foot washing bins prior to the TA entrance. We will wave start approximately 100 people per wave. You will receive your wave assignments closer to the event date.

Lake Nockamixon is not open to public swimming. The only time you can swim is during the event.

Bike Course

Fire Police will be present at all intersections. The bike course starts with a difficult 0.6 mile climb out of the park onto Rt. 563, you will turn right and begin the loop around the park.  Each loop is 18.5 miles around with rolling terrain.  You will turn right onto Rt. 412, then merge with Rt. 611.  You will turn right onto South Park Rd. The first half of South Park Road has a large shoulder which disappears when you reach Kellers Church Road. You will need to ride in the road (turns into Ridge Rd) and stay to the right. Continue to right turn on Rt. 313 and finally a right back onto Rt. 563.  You will be sharing the shoulder of the road with the run course for one mile, you will be separated by cones, please remain to the left of the cones.  The bike aid station is located at Deerwood Rd at the end of this line of cones. The Half EnduraSport will have three laps. The Olympic event will feature a long bike section of two laps.  After your laps you will turn right back into the park and back to the marina. Use caution descending back into the park.

Bike Aid Station

The Bike Aid station is located on the corner of Deerwood Rd, close to the end of each lap near the park entrance. There is a drop zone just prior and immediately after the Aid Station. These are the only areas where you are permitted to discard your used water bottles. You may pick up a new bottle of orange Gatorade or plain water at this location.

Bike Support provided by: High Road Cycles

High Road Cycles will be providing free pre-race mechanical assistance and road support for the EnduraSport Triathlons at Nockamixon. High Road Cycles has two locations nearby; 73 Old Dublin Pike, Doylestown, PA Phone 215-348-8015 and 165 W. Lancaster Avenue, Wayne, PA 610-687-1110.

Run Course

The run course for both the Half & Olympic will be an out & back course starting on the bike path.  You will run the bike path out to Deerwood Rd (mostly flat), turn right up the hill to Rt. 563.  Turn left on 563 and run inside the cones to remain away from the bikers.  The next 1 mile has a downhill, then an uphill before it flattens out.  You will turn left on Old Bethlehem Rd. and run down to the turnaround.  The Olympic turnaround is at 3.1m, the Half turnaround is at 3.275m.  You will return on the same course.  Half participants will run this out & back course twice turning around a tree back near TA before starting your second loop.  Each mile of the course will be marked with a white & red mileage sign.
 

Run Aid Stations

There will be three run aid stations on the course.  The first is right at the TA, the second is the same as the bike aid station on the corner of Rt. 563.  The third is at the Olympic turn around.  This will give you an aid station approximately every 1.5 - 2.0 miles. Aid stations will have Orange Gatorade, water, soda, pretzels, assorted gels, energy bars, some will have fruit & chicken stock.
