There is a new Sprint Triathlon in North Carolina that promises to be a great race venue. The event will be held on June 14th in Washington, NC, a quaint town in coastal Beaufort County. The swim takes place in the cool waters of the Pamlico river. The bike and run are both FLAT and FAST! After the race, the entire family can enjoy the Summer Festival in downtown Washington, NC.
