Description

Harris Lake Reverse Sprint & Olympic Triathlon


This is a multisport event weekend to remember with your choice of reverse sprint or Olympic triathlon or aquabike plus a crazy fun party, brought to you by Humans of Steel Racing, a subsidiary of The Endurance Edge, a women-owned Triangle business. Let's create multisport memories for the entire family. Everyone shares a finish line and gets to celebrate their accomplishment! It will not only challenge you, but be super fun! 


 


We are beginner friendly. In fact, if this is your FIRST race, we have a special, handmade (huge) plaque for you to have your picture taken with.


 


Held at Harris Lake County Park in New Hill, NC, convenient to Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Fuquay Varina, and Holly Springs, you'll run through the single track trails, ride through Hollys Springs, then swim in Harris Lake (yes, in that order...since we like to be different...we're humans of steel, after all!).


 


As of 2024: Sprint AND Olympic course, high school athlete friendly and USAT sanctioned, so you'll get the additional benefits of earning USAT points for rankings.  You can view the rules here.
