Lake Royale Sprint Triathlon by Time Warner Cable

Events News

 

Race Description

Lake Royale was formerly part of the Seven Paths farming community. In 1970, members of the American Realty Corporation started to purchase land. The land along the banks of Cypress Creek was cleared, a dam constructed, and thus the beginning of Lake Sagamore. In 1972, American Realty built the lodge and started selling lots on the west side. In 1977, Lake Sagamore was purchased by the National American Corporation (NACO) and the name was changed to Lake Royale. The back nine holes of the golf course were opened for play in 1987, while the front nine were completed in the spring of 1990. The Property Owners Association (POA) built their administration building at the entrance to the lake, shortly thereafter.

The Lake Royale Triathlon will feature a 500-meter open water swim with a sandy beach start and finish.  The swim has been wetsuit legal with the average temperature being 75 degrees. The 15-mile bike course will start out through the Lake Royale community. This section of the course will involve some technical riding and turns on paved roads. The course will then open up into beautiful country roads in Franklin and Nash County. The roads will not be closed to public but the traffic is minimal. The run will be totally closed to traffic and feature an out and back rolling hill course.

The transition area will open at 6am; ALL bikes need to be placed in position before the transition area closes at 7:45am. Parking will be about 2 miles from the transition area.  Shuttles will be available the morning of the race but it is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED you arrive early to this venue.  There will be a drop-off area around Chuckwagon Circle that will be open until 7:00 am.

Please contact Chris Schmidt at Lake Royale POA if you would like to do a site visit before the race at 919-522-9893.
