Who Benefits from South Charlotte's FIRST Triathlon?

Who Benefits from South Charlotte's FIRST Triathlon?

The Gold Rush Triathlon, sponsored by Meck-South Rotary Club benefits A Child's Place and Polio Plus.


 

A Child's Place is an organization in Charlotte which collaborates between our community and Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools.  Their goals are to provide stable, appropriate education to homeless students, provide support services to enhance their academic success, and to provide support to the families to ensure long term stability and self sufficiency. www.aChildsPlace.org

Polio Plus: In 1985, Rotary International launched PolioPlus, one of the most ambitious humanitarian programs ever, undertaken by a private-sector organization.  PolioPlus was the catalyst for the World Health Assembly's resolution in 1988 to eradicate polio.  Today, thanks to Rotary's US $500 million commitment and its leadership in mobilizing volunteers, the world is on the threshold of eradicating the poliovirus. www.Rotary.org/en/ServiceAndFellowship/POLIO

It's not too late to sign up for South Charlotte's first TRIATHLON!  The Gold Rush Sprint Triathlon, hosted by the Rotary Club of Mecklenburg County-South features a one of a kind 500 meter Pool swim (thanks to the Mecklenburg Aquatic Center-MAC) 10-lane Olympic sized pool.  The Bike and run pass through a lovely section of South Charlotte, primarily on wide neighborhood roads that roll gently alongside some of Charlotte's gorgeous golf courses.  Here are a few of the details:

Swim
The 500 meter swim will take place at the nationally recognized Mecklenburg Aquatics Center (MAC) on the Charlotte Latin campus in South Charlotte.  The Olympic size pool will feature a snake pattern swim course highlighting the maximum benefits of the 500 meter pool.

Bike
The 11.9 mile bike course exits Charlotte Latin campus and goes through nearby neighborhoods following the rolling hills of pristine golf courses and wide neighborhood streets.  Participants will enjoy this scenic route while the priority of safety is ensured with police and volunteers manning each intersection and turns are clearly marked with directional signs.

Run
The 5K run starts on the picturesque campus of Charlotte Latin and then exits for a loop returning to finish on campus by the Mecklenburg Aquatics Center.
