Course Info: "

Now in it's 7th year, the Granite Falls Triathlon is scheduled for {{@BeginDate:date:full:0}} at the Granite Falls Swim & Athletic Club located in Rolesville, NC just 10 minutes north of Raleigh.

Course Descriptions:

Swim:

The 300 yard swim takes place in Granite Falls Swim & Athletic Club's indoor pool. As with Azalea - our other pool swim race in the NCTS - the swim snakes across the pool, with participants going down and back in each of the 6 lanes. Once finished, it's a short run up to the transition area.

Bike:

The 9.5 mile bike course is one big loop with all right-hand turns. Traffic will be light, road surfaces are excellent, and there are a few nice hills to negotiate

New Run Course for 2017:

The swim and bike courses will remained unchanged, but participants will enjoy a new 5K run course. The new run course uses the asphalt trail system that is part of Rolesville's Main Street Park - located directly across the street from Granite Falls Swim & Athletic Club. Participants will run up the bus driveway to Sanford Creek Elementary School where they will access the Main Street Park trail. Competitors will do two loops of the trail (each loop being approx. 1.3 miles). The remaining half mile is the distance from the athletic club to the trail and back. Two aid stations will be situated to allow participants to go by them every half mile. Once on the trail, the run becomes almost totally shaded.

Map location is based off of a geocode of the addressed entered using Google's Google Maps API. If your address does not geocode properly, you can either update the address (we will attempt to re-geocode after any updates to your entry) or you can use Google's geocoding tool found here: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/singlegeocode.html to obtain a lat/long for your location and enter that. To use the utility, type in an address that is close to your location and then drag-and-drop the marker to obtain the desired lat/long. If you choose to enter a lat/long, you must check the box on the edit page that says, "override geocode with entered lat/long."
