The first Two Towns Triathlon for children on Saturday drew hundreds of youth to Meadowlands Park in South Orange. Sponsored by the South Orange and Maplewood Departments of Recreation & Cultural Affairs, Maplewood Loves Wellness, Atlantic Health and the South Mountain YMCA, the event helped promote active participation in swimming, biking and running.
Children between the ages of 7 and 14 swam laps in the South Orange Pool, biked through Meadowland Park and the West Montrose neighborhood, and finished by running around the duck pond in Meadowland Park.
All participants received bronze medals; gold and silver medals were awarded for first and second place for girls and boys in each age group.
