Come experience the Davidson Lands Conservancy's 21st Annual Run for Green! Our course is in the beautiful small town of Davidson, North Carolina. Be careful, though, it is so charming, you may just want to move here. We could not be more excited to bring you the quality race that you have come to expect. Our course winds its way through lovely little neighborhoods with long stretches out in the woods on the greenway where you can take in the serenity of nature. Expect to encounter a hill or two, this is not a flat course. But we will do our best to keep you motivated the whole way as you enjoy your run and the spirit of competition!

The charming town of Davidson offers up a relaxing weekend coupled with reaching your running goals. There are wonderful local places to stay including the Davidson Village Inn and Homewood Suites. You can carb up for your run at one of the many amazing restaurants from Kindred to Mandolino's, to Carrburritos and many more. After you finish your run, whether it is the 5K, 10K, or half marathon, you should bring your friends or family to enjoy the festivities on the green, visit the Farmer's Market and take advantage of the wonderful shops and restaurants. There are so many good places to see, shop and eat that you’ll want to stay for the whole weekend!

    We are excited to bring you the Lake Davidson Sprint Triathlon presented by Trane Technolgies! This is a USAT sanctioned event in Davidson, NC. It features a 750 meter swim, 12.7 mile bike, and a 5K run. Located on the beautiful campus of Trane Technologies, it's a great triathlon for beginners and seasoned triathletes alike.

    Swim:

    The 750 meter swim features an in-water start with the water temperature historically being in the low 80’s so wetsuits are hardly ever permitted. The rectangular shaped course starts right at the lake front at the Trane Technologies Campus with the swim finish located only about 50 yards down the shore from the start location. The water is usually very flat as the course is situated in a protected area of the lake that is sheltered from the wind. Participants will be required to wear a swim cap that designates which wave they are in. We will provide the swim cap for you at packet pick up. The swim waves and start times will be posted in the Event Details which are posted the week of the event.

    Bike:

    The bike course is a 12.7 mile loop which begins and ends on the Trane Technologies Campus. The bike course completely avoids downtown Davidson and Davidson College areas. The bike course quickly becomes a ride through the rural roads of far north Mecklenburg County. The course is moderately hilly with a couple of decent size hills – though nothing too intimidating.

    Run:

    The run course takes place completely on the Trane Technologies Campus. The out and back course is also slightly hilly with lots of turns. If the temperatures are high – the run course will be hot – as shade is at a premium.
