Overall Course Maps     The course map seen to the right, is a rough idea of the race areas to be used for the events of 2000. The (x) mark in the lower left of the map shows the beginning of the 4 1/2 mile swim across Lake Chatuge to be done in August. It starts at the Fieldstone Inn docks in Hiawassee GA and ends at the Chatuge Dam in Hayesville NC. (this is also pictured in the sattalite photo below). The 3 triathlons will start at the Chatuge Dam, but each race will take a unique bike and running course. No two races will be the same. The duathlon course is circled to the right of the map. It will be the site of the mountain bike race as well. The duathlon course will be a 4 mile run, a 12 mile bike and a 2 mile run. There will be a 35 mile road bike race as shown above with arrowed line, starting at the Chatuge Dam and winding around the foothills of Hayesville and Tusquitee then back to the Dam to finish. I will have updated maps of each individule race at least 6 weeks before the race takes place. If you have any questions you can contact me at 828-389-6982 or email me at [email protected]        The photo to the right was taken by sattalite in 1996. It is the same area map that I have marked above with the routes of some of our different races coming in 2000.
