Chapel Hill: October 9, 2011 

Ramblin’ Rose Chapel Hill takes place at the UNC Wellness Center.

“Ramblin’ Rose Triathlon is an incredible event because it provides great motivation for our members and guests to see women of all ages, sizes, and abilities participate in a triathlon. They realize that being an athlete is for everyone! They can learn to swim at any age, they can get back on a bike and really enjoy cycling, and they can walk or run for 2 miles and have fun. Once they finish this event, they feel that they can do anything! Hopefully the women realize that in order to take care of everyone else in their life, they need to take care of themselves first. That is what we try to teach in all of our programs and events at the UNC Wellness Center, that fitness is a lifestyle.”

Kathy Kelly DeBlasio, Lifestyle Enhancement Director—UNC Wellness Center

COURSE PREVIEW

The SWIM

The swim takes place in the 5-lane pool of the UNC Wellness Center. Swimmers will enter and exit the pool area through separate doors. Volunteers will be standing at the swim exit to help point you toward the transition area. 

The BIKE
Once you mount your bike on Meadowmont Lane, you’ll take a right on Sprunt Street and then navigate your way through the beautiful streets of Meadowmont. Please be careful coming down all hills as there are sharp turns ahead. Pinehurst Drive will take you along the beautiful golf course and out towards Ephesus Church Road. After turning right onto Pope Rd and Old Chapel Hill Road, you’ll then take a right on Farrington Road, which is straight and fast. Bring it home via Route 54 and before you know it you’ll hear the cowbells ringing at the race site.

The RUN
The out-and-back run course starts and finishes on a lovely greenway. But the bulk of the run goes through the quiet residential streets of Meadowmont. Enjoy the tour of the lovely homes, each with large front porches and unique architecture. You’ll have a chance to grab a cool drink at both ends of the run course. The FINISH Takes place in front of the UNC Wellness Center, where the party will be rockin’ and where the sense of your amazing accomplishment will all of a sudden sink in.
