Heralded as one of “America’s Best Lakes” by USA TODAY, Lake Lure, North Carolina is home to the Lake Lure Olympiad Sports Festival. Year after year, athletes rave about the area’s scenic beauty, delicious finish line food, and countless welcoming volunteers that all make the Olympiad experience truly special and unique.

The grand mountain setting serves as both a place to compete and a fun summer getaway spot

Bring your kids and let them earn medals, too. The Lake Lure Olympiad offers many events for kids ages 4-14 including: 40-yard dash, soccer kicks, obstacle course, baseball throw, basketball toss and standing broad jump.

Celebrating its 13th year, the Lake Lure Olympiad is a nonprofit organization that has given back more than $250,000 to community charities. Hosted by Rumbling Bald Resort on Lake Lure and Chimney Rock State Park, with support from Rutherford Regional Health System, the races AND the views will take your breath away.

Course Description:

Swim:

The Lake Lure Triathlon begins on the sandy beach at Rumbling Bald Resort with a 750-meter swim in the glassy, warm waters of Lake Lure, curves around a buoy and finishes right at the transition area, which is within 50 feet of the lake. Just to sweeten the deal, the lift scene from the movie ""Dirty Dancing"" was filmed on this lake!

Bike:

Just keep focusing on those mountain views as you push through the 22.3K bike course through the countryside at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, finishing back at the same transition area.

Run:

The steady, but uphill 5K run carries you into a beautiful valley paralleling Bald Mountain Golf Course and back down with a gentle cruise to the beachside Finish Line!
