ONE MORE TRI 2021 is once again a virtual triathlon. There’s still swimming, biking, and running. But ONE MORE TRI participants take on just two of the three legs. We’re asking participants to swap out that third leg for a more awesome segment -- a Special Olympics New Jersey (SONJ) athlete relay partner who will take on an accessible endurance challenge.
About One More Tri
About the Event
2021 ONE MORE TRI will be all Unified Relays.
A Unified Relay joins athletes with and without disabilities on the same team. It’s inspired by a simple principle: competing together is a quick path to understanding and acceptance. And foster a community of inclusion along the way.
SONJ Event Staff will pair ONE MORE TRI participants with SONJ athletes to form Unified Relay Teams.
Participant(s) pick 2 legs: Swim & Bike, Bike & Run, or Swim & Run. Legs do not need to be completed on the same day. Or even by the same people. One participant can do both legs. Or buddy up with a friend/family member and take on one leg each.
Finally the participant will then pass the virtual baton to their Special Olympics athlete relay partner. The SONJ athlete picks a strength/fitness challenge from the list of approved activities, practices it, and crushes it!
