Trout Unlimited is putting a bit of a twist on the triathlon concept for an event that will debut this spring in Northeast Pennsylvania.
The inaugural Delaware River Fly Tri will feature a run, bike and paddling legs with a dose of fishing thrown in.
The event will be held May 16 in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area near Bushkill, Pa.
It will feature a 2-mile trail run, a 7-mile mountain bike ride, and a 4-mile paddle on the Delaware River. Race slots are extremely limited, with participation capped at just 30 people.
“Our hope for this event is to bring new and diverse users to experience the vast recreational opportunities the Delaware River has to offer,” said Rob Shane, Mid-Atlantic organizer for Trout Unlimited and the mastermind behind this event. “We’re also excited about the opportunity to challenge some of our avid local anglers, paddlers, bikers and trail runners to expand their recreational portfolio and experience the Delaware from a different perspective.”
