This is the hardest and most rewarding half iron race around.  Located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, the course has everything the local landscape has to offer...climbing.  The swim is calm and fast, the bike includes a 6 mile CAT 1 climb to the turn around, and the run will leave you crumpled in a heap. This is not a race to stare at your splits on the clock, you just race the course and see what heppens.  We are bringing the hard back to the half iron distance.

Ever want to win the King of the Mountain Polka-Dots?  We award a KOM jersey to the fastest male and female for the climb up Ft Moauntain.
