Course Info: "

Lake James State Park:

The race will take place at the beautiful new Lake James State Park – located about 40 miles east of Asheville and about 65 miles northwest of Charlotte along I-40 (near Marion, NC).

There is plenty of parking at the race site - one of the nice amenities in being able to stage a race at a North Carolina State Park.

Course Descriptions:

Swim:

The swim for the Lake James SprInter will take place in beautiful Lake James, which sits in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The triangular shaped course will start and finish on the beach. Lake James is a fairly deep lake with very clear water. This will probably be a 50/50 proposition on whether participants will be able to wear wetsuits.

We will post the water temperature on Thursday night of race week.

This will be a time trial start - with participants starting one at a time every 2-3 seconds.

Bike:

The bike course basically encircles Lake James. The transition area sits at an elevation of about 1200 feet above sea level. The bike course reaches a maximum elevation of about 1450 feet, so there won’t be any major climbs on this course, but there will be a few pretty good hills to negotiate. The biggest climbs will be inside the park. Participants at the 2016 race raved about the quality and beauty of this bike course.

Run:

The paved run course is an out & back course that stays entirely within the Lake James State Park boundaries. There are a few pretty good hills to negotiate so this will be a course that definitley favors stronger runners.

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."
