Course Descriptions:
Swim:
White Lake is one of the finest lakes you will ever have the pleasure to swim in - a perfect oval, two miles long and one mile across. The lake, which is fed by subterranean springs, is crystal clear with a sand bottom - about nine feet deep out in the very middle. Most mornings, White Lake is so perfectly flat; you would swear you were looking at a sheet of ice. This is an in-water start with participants lining up with the end of the two piers/docks at the NCFFA Center. The swim course is a triangular shaped course. Participants exit the water at the end of the easternmost pier/dock and run about 300 yards to the transition area. Swim caps will be provided.
A water temperature will be announced on the Thursday evening prior to race day, by 9pm. An official USAT reading will be taken on race day. Check out the USA Triathlon wetsuit rules if you are not familiar with them.
Bike:
The 45K bike course is a one loop design. It is a very fast, flat course on fairly rural roads that are typically lightly traveled.
Run:
The 10K run is an out & back course. The course is flat and fast. Aid stations are located about every mile along the course.
