Description
We are excited to bring you the Lake Davidson Sprint Triathlon presented by Trane Technolgies! This is a USAT sanctioned event in Davidson, NC. It features a 750 meter swim, 12.7 mile bike, and a 5K run. Located on the beautiful campus of Trane Technologies, it's a great triathlon for beginners and seasoned triathletes alike.
Registrants in the 2024 Lake Davidson Sprint Triathlon receive a FREE Training Plan provided by 80/20 Endurance. There is a full range of Sprint Training Plans (valued at $54.95) to choose from.
Swim:
The 750 meter swim features an in-water start with the water temperature historically being in the low 80’s so wetsuits are hardly ever permitted. The rectangular shaped course starts right at the lake front at the Trane Technologies Campus with the swim finish located only about 50 yards down the shore from the start location. The water is usually very flat as the course is situated in a protected area of the lake that is sheltered from the wind. Participants will be required to wear a swim cap that designates which wave they are in. We will provide the swim cap for you at packet pick up. The swim waves and start times will be posted in the Event Details which are posted the week of the event.
Bike:
The bike course is a 12.7 mile loop which begins and ends on the Trane Technologies Campus. The bike course completely avoids downtown Davidson and Davidson College areas. The bike course quickly becomes a ride through the rural roads of far north Mecklenburg County. The course is moderately hilly with a couple of decent size hills – though nothing too intimidating.
Run:
The run course takes place completely on the Trane Technologies Campus. The out and back course is also slightly hilly with lots of turns. If the temperatures are high – the run course will be hot – as shade is at a premium.
Food Drive
Demand for the Ada Jenkins Center food pantry continues to rise, and they are in need of restocking their shelves to keep up. August brought forth 500+ clients, up from 299 people in July. We would greatly appreciate if our race participants would assist in bringing to the race any of the following items and drop them off at the Ada Jenkins Center tent next to Packet Pick-up pre-race or at the Ada tent in Event Village post-race. The following items are most needed:
Condiments (ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard
Salad dressing
Dog and cat food (3-lb. bags)
Full-size shampoo (we can’t accept mini or hotel toiletries; sorry)
Body wash
Deodorant
Laundry detergent
Toothbrushes and toothpaste
