This is a USA Triathlon (USAT) certified triathlon comprised of a 250 meter pool swim, 12 mile bike, and a 3.1 mile run. The beneficiary for this race is The Smile Train. This race provides beginners with a safe environment to experience a triathlon while providing a fast course, with a few challenges, for the experienced triathlete. Sign up early as this race fills up every year!
The Smile Train does free cleft lip and cleft palate repair for children in under developed countries. For every 4 individuals that register or 3 relay teams we will change a child's life and give them the smile they so greatly deserve!
We always send 100% of the registration fees directly to The Smile Train. Materials are available for participants interested in additional fundraising. Since 2008 we have exceeded $83,000 in donations!
Doesn't it feel good to make a difference!

Swim 250-meters
The swim is a 250 meter pool swim. Athletes will start in the water and snake their way up and down each lane of the pool utilizing each lane only once. All participants must submit a 100 meter swim split time that will be used to order swimmers by speed with faster swimmers going first.
- 250 meter swim = 10 lengths of the pool
- Swim each lane of the pool once changing lanes every time you turn at the wall
Bike 12-miles
The bike course is a 12 mile, mostly flat, out-and-back course that begins at the Heritage Wake Forest Sales Center. The first mile of the bike course does have some road humps.
There will be volunteers Wake Forest Police and Wake County Sheriff Deputies guarding the course. Every mile of the bike course will be marked with a sign and the road will be marked with arrows prior to each turn. There are no aid stations on the bike course.

Note: the run course changed for 2011,- we are removing the 2 big hills, not because I want it to be easier but I want you to be safe so we are getting you off Heritage Lake Road as early as possible.
