Lake Norman State Park:

The Lake Norman State Park Sprinter is the most rural triathlon in the Charlotte area. The park boasts one of the regions largest mountain biking network, offering over 30 miles of single-track trail and also contains a family campground with 32 sites. There is plenty of parking immediately at the race site.

Unique Race Distance

Lake Norman is a hybrid between a traditional Sprint distance race and an International distance race. Swim - 1000 meters: Bike - 18 miles: Run - 4 miles.

Course Descriptions:

Swim:

The triangular shaped swim course starts and finishes on the beautiful white sandy beach at Lake Norman State Park. This will be a time-trail start, with participants starting one at a time every 2-3 seconds. Being the first open-water triathlon of the year in the greater Charlotte area, the race will give participants the opportunity to wear wetsuits - always a plus!

Bike:

The 18 mile bike course takes place on the rural roads of Iredell County south of the town of Troutman at the northern end of Lake Norman. Traffic will be light and there are very few turns on this beautiful rolling bike course.

Run:

The 4 mile run course stays entirely within the state park boundaries and takes place on heavily shaded park roads.

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."
