  The White Lake Half is celebrated as one of the fastest HALF-IRON courses in the United States (1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike, 13.1-mile run), drawing athletes eager to set a personal record. The race begins and ends at The Grand Regal at Goldston’s Beach, right in the heart of White Lake, North Carolina. Participants will start by swimming in White Lake’s famously clear waters, then transition to a flat, two-loop bike course with smooth, speedy roads. The run portion features a double out-and-back route, also flat and fast, with partial shade for added comfort.

  Located in Southeastern North Carolina, White Lake isn’t just a race venue—it’s a scenic resort community brimming with attractions. Visitors can choose from a wide range of accommodations, including lakefront and non-lakefront apartments, cottages, hotels, and motels, as well as camping and RV sites. Dining options abound, from cozy breakfast cafés to fresh seafood restaurants. For those who love the water, White Lake offers jet skiing, water skiing, wakeboarding, and more.

  The lake’s pristine sandy bottom and crystal-clear waters, fed by natural springs, have earned it the title “The Nation’s Safest Beach.” With no currents, tides, or sudden drops, it’s ideal for family fun—whether you’re basking on the shore or relaxing in the shade. White Lake also hosts the annual “White Lake Water Festival” every third weekend in May, adding a festive touch to this charming community.

  Join us for the White Lake Half on Saturday of race weekend and discover the excitement of racing in this idyllic setting.

  Note: The White Lake Spring International and the White Lake Spring Sprint take place on Sunday at The Grand Regal at Goldston’s Beach.
