About the Triple Lakes Trail Race

The course winds through watershed trails connecting three lakes north of downtown Greensboro, passing through varied forest terrain that keeps the footing honest without being punishing. Several distance options range from a half marathon up to a long ultra, with relay formats available for teams. Aid stations are spread generously along the route and stocked with a real spread of food, including fruit, salty snacks, and Tailwind for hydration.

Packet pickup runs the evening before at Fleet Feet on Lawndale Drive, with race-morning pickup available at the start. The race begins and finishes at the back of Bur-Mil Park, reached by following the park road all the way in. Paved lots sit near the entrance off Owl's Roost Road, with some grass parking closer to the start area.

Common Questions About the Triple Lakes Trail Race

Will I finish last at the Triple Lakes Trail Race?

Almost certainly not. Half the 13.1 Miles field finished slower than 2:42:34, and the last recorded finisher came in around 5:26:51, so there is a long tail of runners behind the middle of the pack. Most fields are far slower than people expect.

Is the Triple Lakes Trail Race a good first 13.1 Miles?

It is a small race (183 finishers), which is friendlier and less intimidating than a big-city event, though the field thins out. There is no qualifying time, and the finish-time spread above shows how varied the field really is. If it is your first 13.1 Miles, that spread matters more than the winner's time.

How competitive is the Triple Lakes Trail Race?

The 13.1 Miles winner ran 1:30:26 while the median finisher took 2:42:34. That spread points to a mixed field, with a competitive front and a big recreational middle.
