Bike (44K)

•   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.

Run (10K)

•   The run course is tough.
•   There are lots of small rolling type hills, but there are also plenty of flat sections.
•   It’s a picturesque course – as the one-loop 6.2 mile course circles 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 (water & energy drink).
