Named one of “America’s Best Lakes” by USA TODAY in 2012, Lake Lure, North Carolina is home to the Lake Lure Olympiad Sports Festival. Anchored by the USAT sanctioned Lake Lure Triathlon, which is part of a “3 Races in 3 Days Challenge,” athletes every year say it is the scenic beauty and abundance of welcoming volunteers that make the Olympiad’s triathlon special and unique.

In addition, parents value the Lake Lure Olympiad’s commitment to competitive events for BOTH adults and children. At the Lake Lure Olympiad’s Junior Olympiad, kids can compete and earn medals just like their parents.
