The basic reason that both White Lake races (the Half and the Sprint) haveKeep Reading become so popular over the years is the lake itself. White Lake is one of the finest lakes you will ever have the pleasure to swim in - a perfect oval, two miles long and one mile across. The lake which is fed by subterranean springs is crystal clear with a sand bottom - about nine feet deep out in the very middle. Most mornings, White Lake is so perfectly flat; you'd swear you were looking at a sheet of ice. This is an in-water start with participants lining up with the end of the two piers/docks at the NCFFA Center. The swim course is a triangular shaped course. Participants exit the water at the end of the easternmost pier/dock and run about 300 yards to the transition area. Expect the water temp to be in the high 60s to the low 70s.

A water temperature will be posted on Thursday of race week.
