Autumn Lake Triathlon Athletes,
After careful consideration and review of the USAT recommendations for producing triathlons during this time of COVID-19, we sincerely regret to inform you that the Autumn Lake Triathlon scheduled for August 16, 2020, is canceled. The health and safety of our athletes, staff, and volunteers is always our number one concern. Given the almost inevitable contact between athletes, staff members, and volunteers, the potential of spreading the virus would put everyone at risk.
We also pride ourselves on the quality of the race experience we provide to our athletes. With the limitations that would need to be in place (physical distancing, no spectators, no award ceremony, no post-race food, limited personal interaction, and PPE requirements for athletes, staff, and volunteers in the heat of summer), we do not feel that we could produce a safe, top quality race at this point in time. Please understand that we do not take this decision lightly. The Autumn Lake Triathlon has become the pride of the Williamstown Badgers and it breaks our hearts to cancel this race.
All registered athletes will receive an email providing three options. The default option will be to defer the registration to the 2021 Autumn Lake Triathlon scheduled for August 15, 2021. The second option will be to donate the registration cost to our race charity, Bianca’s Kids. The third option will be to receive a refund of the registration cost minus service fees. Our normal policy is no refunds and no deferrals. Given that these are far from normal times, we want to respect our athletes by offering these three options.
Thank you for your understanding and continued support!
Stay Safe
Stay Healthy
Be Kind!
Lou Burgese
Race Director

The 4th Annual Williamstown Badgers Autumn Lake Triathlon begins with a 0.4 mile swim in a clean, spring-fed lake in the heart of Williamstown, NJ. The 13 mile bike ride is flat and fast and includes roads with large bike lanes. The 5K run will take place on the property of Autumn Lake Winery and will take you through trails, around two lakes and through the vineyard.
If you plan to join the Williamstown Badgers Tri Club as part of your race registration, do not 'Add Another Registrant'. You must register only one person at a time when you select 'I Want To Join Club: Williamstown Badgers'.
