Pass It Along Triathlon 2026

Description

The Pass it Along Triathlon at Lake Mohawk Country Club is a one day event, offering USAT Sanctioned Sprint Courses and Olympic Courses.

This event is great for both first timers and intermediate/advanced athletes. Participants can register as an individual entry, or as a relay team. The event takes place at the scenic, privately owned lake community of Lake Mohawk Country Club, located in Sparta Township, New Jersey. Parking for the event is conveniently located directly across from the transition area and swim start at the Historic Lake Mohawk Country Club Clubhouse. Circa 1929, this castle-like structure is listed on the national and state registers of historic places due to its uniqueness of architecture. The transition area is a grassy field, located east of the clubhouse.

The swim portion of the event occurs in the calm waters of the lake, which is patrolled by over 30 lifeguards in boats, kayaks and/or paddle boards. The bike course consists of several hills, and directs participants through the residential countryside of Sparta, Byram and Andover Townships. The run, mostly flat, is along the eastern shore of Lake Mohawk. Participants on the bike and run courses will travel through the lake community's village center, Lake Mohawk White Deer Plaza. The finish line for the event is also located at the Lake Mohawk White Deer Plaza. The Plaza is a convenient and great place for spectators to view the athletes while on the bike and run courses, and crossing the finish line.

Age Requirements: The minimum years of age for participation in the Sprint Course is 14 (if turning 15 by December 31). All participants under the age of 18 years must mail a signed USAT waiver to Pass It Along, 75 State Route 15, Unit 62, Lafayette, NJ 07848 with additional signature of consent of parent/legal guardian.
