The Enka Triathlon at Biltmore Lake celebrates it's eighth anniversary as the premier triathlon in the Asheville area and we invite you come join us and experience it for yourself.

The race is centered around the beautiful Biltmore Lake community and features a 750-meter swim in the private lake, a 17.5 mile rolling bike leg in the farmland and rural areas of southern Buncombe County and a 3.1 mile run that takes you around the lake for a finish in front of friends, family and neighborhood residents.
