Course Distance

250 YARD SWIM – 9 MILE BIKE – 2 MILE RUN

Race Description

Triathlon

Swim: The 250 yard swim takes place in the 5-lane pool of the UNC Wellness Center. Swimmers will enter and exit the pool area through separate doors. Swimmers will be self seeded according to the swim ability chart. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with lining up for the swim. You will be provided with a swim cap if you choose to wear it. After the swim, you'll experience the exhilaration of exiting the pool to the sound of cheers as you make your way to the transition area, located in the parking lot outside the pool area.

Bike

Once you mount your bike on Meadowmont Lane, you’ll take a right on Sprunt Street and then navigate your way through the beautiful streets of Meadowmont. Please be careful coming down all hills as there are sharp turns ahead. Pinehurst Drive will take you along the beautiful golf course and out towards Ephesus Church Road. After turning right onto Pope Rd and Old Chapel Hill Road, you’ll then take a right on Farrington Road, which is straight and fast. Bring it home via Route 54 and before you know it you’ll hear the cowbells ringing at the race site.

Run

The out-and-back run course starts and finishes on a charming greenway. The bulk of the run goes through the quiet residential streets of Meadowmont. Enjoy the tour of the lovely homes, each with large front porches and unique architecture. You’ll have a chance to grab a cool drink at both ends of the run course.
