Psychoactive: A Last Runner Standing Event

Join us for the 9th annual Run White & Blue 7.4 Event on July 4, 2026, in Huntersville, NC. This event supports military veteran and first responder organizations in the Lake Norman region of North Carolina. Our returning beneficiaries are Purple Heart Homes and Firefighters' Burned Children Fund. Learn more about the amazing work each organization is doing and donate directly to their organization under “Donate”.

Note - The mile and kilometer course are both double loops style courses. Each runner MUST pass the split timer under the arch at the start/finish line, or he or she will disqualify from any results. All runners will run one "outside" loop on the course passing through the finish area once and one "inside" loop until passing through the finish line. The first loop will run in the center turn lane and the second loop will run on the inside lane counterclockwise around The Park. The course will be coned and signed accordingly and protected from traffic. The outside lane will be the open traffic flow lane.

WOMEN'S TRIATHLON

Course Distance: 250 YARD SWIM – 8 MILE BIKE – 2 MILE RUN

Swim: Your event kicks off with a 250 yard swim in the beautiful and spacious aquatic facility of the Huntersville Family Fitness and Aquatics. Participants will exit through the side door of the building and take a short run to the transition area. Swimmers will be self seeded according to the swim ability chart. Volunteers will be on hand to assist with lining up for the swim. You will be provided with a swim cap if you choose to wear it. After the swim, you'll experience the exhilaration of exiting the pool to the sound of cheers as you make your way to the transition area.

Bike: The bike course is a 8 mile, 1 loop course. Yes, there are hills, but you can do this!

Run: Runners will exit the Transition Area and run up and down Verhoeff Drive (closed to traffic) as well as around the Huntersville Athletic Park. There will be an aid station positioned at Mile 1 just before your second loop. You’ll be able to cheer and high five your fellow participants on the 2 loop course.

Aquathlon- Aquathlon is simply swim and run. This is a great introduction into multisport. No worry about biking and great for daughters to participate with mom, aunt or grandma!

Choose from a fun, family-friendly 5k with just a few turns, or a 15k that stretches out across the fingers of the peninsula – it’s a beautiful thing. Either way, you’ll be glad you got up to run with us.
