SuperAthalon 2018
37th Annual SuperAthalon – 2018 Race Tentatively Scheduled for July 2 at 6:30 p.m.
The idea of a SuperAthalon lifeguard competition was born when Buzz Mogck assumed the leadership of the Cape May Beach Patrol in 1981. Captain Mogck sought to stage a “unique” competition involving South Jersey beach patrols. Knowing that lifeguards need on the job skills of running, rowing and swimming, Captain Mogck decided to stage an “Iron-Man” competition highlighting those skills.
The race consists of three stages:
Stage 1 – 2.3 mile run along Beach Drive to Poverty Beach
Stage 2 – 1.5 mile row, Poverty Beach to Congress Beach, running across the jetty to Cannone Beach to enter the water for the swim. All competitors must enter water on Cannone Beach.
Stage 3 – Approx. 1/4 mile swim, Cannone Beach out and around a flag, returning to the beach and running to the finish line on Mogck Beach.
