The Race
The Lake Royale Triathlon will feature a 500-meter open water swim with a sandy beach start and finish. 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. 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 1 mile from the transition area. There will be a drop-off area around Chuckwagon Circle that will be open until 7:00 am.

Any violation of this Section 5.9(a) shall result in disqualification.
