DQ Pine Barrens Olympic Triathlon, Duathlon, Aquabike, Sprint Triathlon, & *NEW* Aquathlon *#

We are kindly requesting that all parking at Atsion Recreation Center be reserved for athletes and event staff/volunteers. We are limited in the availability of parking spaces and have a capacity limit this year. Parking on the grass is strictly prohibited. Overflow and spectator parking will be directed to the Atsion Office on the other side of 206 and Atsion Road at 744 US-206, Shamong, NJ 08088. Carpooling is appreciated!

We are also asking that athletes who are expecting to finish and leave early to park to the left when entering the lot. This will hopefully avoid car and bicycle interference on the right side of the lot. Thank you!

Thank You for 20 Amazing Years!

DQ Events put on their first race on Saturday, August 31, 2002, Labor Day Weekend. The Marlton Lakes Triathlon/Duathlon was a short 1/4 mile swim, 11 mile bike, and a 5k run. It was a great community event and led to the start of the company you all know today.

The front of the shirt is the 20th Anniversary logo and the back will be the list of all of the races DQ Events has put on over the past 20 years, including a new one from October 2022, the Halloween Trick or Treat 10 Miler & Frightening 5k!
