From the organizers

The White Lake Half is celebrated as one of the fastest HALF-IRON courses in the United States (1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike, 13.1-mile run), drawing athletes eager to set a personal record. The race begins and ends at The Grand Regal at Goldston’s Beach, right in the heart of White Lake, North Carolina. Participants will start by swimming in White Lake’s famously clear waters, then transition to a flat, two-loop bike course with smooth, speedy roads. The run portion features a double out-and-back route, also flat and fast, with partial shade for added comfort.
