Obstacle racers to attack Colt State Park course

The second Trident Race is slated for July 30

Posted

Hundreds of extreme obstacle course racers are expected to climb and crawl their way into Bristol this weekend for the second Trident Race at Colt State Park.

The race, scheduled for July 30 at 9 a.m., is four miles long, beginning at the Bristol Town Beach and running through Colt State Park’s trails. It features 17 obstacles for runners to overcome, including wall climbs, crawls, a log carry, a bucket brigade and more. There is also a quarter-mile kids race that was one of the highlights last year, according to race organizer Ethan Tucker.

More than 500 racers have already registered, and Mr. Tucker expects the number to exceed 600 by race day. Registration costs $80 for adults and $30 for kids, and is available on the race website, www.thetridentrace.com, or at Town Beach on July 30.
As part of the festivities, the National Guard will be on hand with a zip line for visitors to ride, and RE/MAX hot air balloon rides are available from 9-11 a.m. The balloon rides cost $5, the proceeds of which will be donated to the Wounded Warrior Project, Mr. Tucker said.
