Trident Multisport was established in 2012 with the idea of bringing quality multisport events to our local area and has worked hand and hand with DQ Events and their staff for over the last 12 years. We have established some high quality, fun, safe events that include the Phoenix Sprint, the Stafford Sprint & Run for HOPE, and the Brookville Olympic/Sprint.
I have always wanted to have a race at Wells Mills because of the unique, beautiful trails it offers. Taking a small idea from the Survival of the Shawangunks Triathlon, I created something unique and special here in NJ with the help of the Wells Mills County Park and Citta Boyscout Camp. You won't find any other race like this around. - Ross Reynolds, Race Director

The run has great single track trails that wind you through tall cedars and over long foot bridges.
