750 meter freshwater swim in Biltmore Lake. Race morning water temperature will dictate wetsuit legality under USAT rules but, they will more than likely be legal. Wave starts by age groups. Click here for a Swim+Run Map.
20 kilometers of hills through the rural Asheville countryside. A challenging all paved route with no "heart-breaking" climbs. The course is entirely on 2-lane country roads in the shadow of Mt. Pisgah and near Pisgah National Forest. Click here for a Bike Map and Crib Sheet.
5 kilometers starts uphill through Biltmore Lake neighborhood, and finishes on the flat and shaded woodchip trail circling Biltmore Lake. Two aid stations will be available. Click here for a Swim+Run Map.
