SwimRun Lake James Returns

Get ready for the most extreme endurance race this side of Burke County: The Lake James SwimRun returns April 18. Up to 100 2-person teams will try to conquer the elements as they negotiate the 19-mile long course or the 12-mile short course. Both races involve a series of running and swimming legs of various distances. If you’re not feeling up to the task, there’s still opportunities to experience the event as a race course volunteer or as one of the paid lifeguards who watch over the athletes.
