• Description: The swim setting is right off of a postcard. The race begins with a beach start at the Pinehurst Marina. The course is a triangular shaped course in beautiful Lake Pinehurst . Conditions are usually perfect; the air temperature at start time is normally in the 60s and the water temperature is normally in the low-70s making wetsuits legal.
  
  The bike course at Pinehurst is a challenging test - rewarding stronger cyclists.
  The course is a pure one loop design.
  There are no large hills on the course - but a constant series of moderate hills and rollers. The road surfaces are for the most part very smooth.
  
  The run course is tough. There are lots of small rolling type hills, but there are also plenty of flat sections. It's a wonderfully picturesque course - as the out and back 3.1 mile course runs arround Lake Pinehurst on quiet residential streets. There's lots of shade, as you run past beautiful homes, the lake, and parts of the Pinehurst golf courses. Aid stations will be located every mile.
