To everyone who came out to run, walk, or cheer — thank you for supporting Occoneechee State Park and helping keep our community vibrant!

We are overwhelmed with gratitude for your support, which made this year’s Turkey Trot such a success! Your generosity and participation help move forward important projects at Occoneechee State Park — from the ADA-compliant fishing dock to the new 18-hole Disc Golf Course, and many other meaningful improvements that benefit families and the community all year long.

Thanks to your contributions, we were also proud to deliver 271 pounds of canned food to the local food bank.

Because of YOU, we are able to create more opportunities for outdoor recreation, environmental education, and family-friendly events.

The outpouring of support was truly overwhelming and is sincerely appreciated. We value your feedback, and we truly appreciate your patience as we keep working to make the Turkey Trot experience even better for everyone.

Sincerely,

The Friends of Occoneechee State Park

    Harris Lake Reverse Sprint & Olympic Triathlon

    This is a multisport event to remember with your choice of REVERSE sprint or Olympic triathlon or aquabike plus a crazy fun party, brought to you by Humans of Steel Racing, a subsidiary of The Endurance Edge, a women-owned Triangle business. Let's create multisport memories for the entire family. Everyone shares a finish line and gets to celebrate their accomplishment! It will not only challenge you, but be super fun!

    We are beginner friendly. In fact, if this is your FIRST race, we have a special, handmade (huge) plaque for you to have your picture taken with.

    Held at Harris Lake County Park in New Hill, NC, convenient to Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Fuquay Varina, and Holly Springs, you'll run through the single track trails, ride through Holly Springs, then swim in Harris Lake (yes, in that order...since we like to be different...we're humans of steel, after all!).

    As of 2024: Sprint AND Olympic course, high school athlete friendly and USAT sanctioned, so you'll get the additional benefits of earning USAT points for rankings. You can view the rules here.

    2025 Athlete & Spectator Guide is HERE. (2026 has small changes)
