Learning Outside is committed to giving children experiences in the outdoors that enhance their current lives and learning and that instill in them a love of the natural world and a lifelong commitment to stewardship. Essential to our mission is serving individuals who do not have ready access to quality outdoor learning experiences. Learning Outside’s programs provide the experiences research confirms all children need; unhurried time spent outdoors playing, learning, exploring, and connecting with nature and with one another.

    Coming in 2026, Trivium Racing introduces Big Mack Sprint Triathlon, a centrally located early-summer multisport event in Burlington, North Carolina. Held at Lake Cammack Park and Marina, this race offers athletes the rare opportunity to swim in a clean, protected lake that is typically closed to public swimming. Combined with quiet country roads for the bike and a shaded run through park trails, Big Mack delivers a calm, well-organized race experience in one of the most convenient locations in the Triad.

    Part of the Trivium Multisport Series, Big Mack is designed for a wide range of athletes—from those trying their first triathlon to experienced racers looking for a strong early-season effort.

    Why Athletes Choose Big Mack

    1. Central Triad location with easy access from Greensboro, Winston-Salem, Durham, and surrounding areas

    2. Open water swim in Lake Cammack, a venue rarely open to swimmers

    3. Time trial swim start for a smoother, less congested beginning to the race

    4. Quiet, scenic country roads for the bike course

    5. Shaded, double-loop run course inside Lake Cammack Park

    6. Part of the Trivium Multisport Series, with opportunities to earn points and connect with the regional multisport community

    Course Overview

    The Triathlon & Aquabike races begin with a 750-meter open water swim in Lake Cammack. Because swimming is normally restricted here, athletes can expect clean water and a unique venue experience. The time trial start format allows participants to enter the water individually, reducing congestion and creating a steady flow onto the course.

    The 14.8-mile bike course travels through quiet rural roads surrounding the park, offering a smooth and uninterrupted ride.

    The run is a 5K double loop on park roads and trails, with shade and natural surroundings providing a comfortable finish to the race.

    Race Options and Distances

    Athletes can participate as individuals or as part of a relay team.

    Sprint Triathlon

    750 Meter Swim – 14.8 Mile Bike – 5 Kilometer Run

    Sprint Duathlon

    2 Mile Run – 14.8 Mile Bike – 5 Kilometer Run

    Sprint Aquabike

    750 Meter Swim – 14.8 Mile Bike

    All races use a time trial start to promote safety and keep athletes moving efficiently onto the course.

    Part of the Trivium Multisport Series

    Big Mack Sprint Triathlon is part of the Trivium Multisport Series. Participants can earn series points, collect medals, and take part in a season-long progression of events across North Carolina. Whether you’re building fitness, competing for the series, or simply enjoying the process, Big Mack is a strong addition to your race calendar.
