• Description: Your route begins in the Olympic Size overflow swimming pool at the Shelby City Park in Shelby, NC, also known as the "City of Pleasant Living". Participants will snake their way down the pool only swimming one direction in each lane. The transition area is located a mere 50 meters away on the front lawn of the Shelby City Park, allowing excellent spectator vantage points.
  
  The 20 kilometer 'lollipop course' takes participants into uptown Shelby where they immediately turn out of town onto rolling hills. The participants will then circle back and head back towards the city park home to a beautiful nine hole golf course, wonderful playground, historic carousel and restored miniature rotary train.
  
  The 5K run portion is nearly completely flat, and is run on some of the most scenic streets in uptown Shelby, passing through the bustling farmers market on the tree lined historic court square in front of the Cleveland County Arts Council and by many 100+ year old homes. This event will definitely become an instant favorite with its beautiful outdoor pool and picturesque scenery.
