| Description: The Ramblin’ Rose-Triangle is where it all started in 2006! This event is the grand lady of the 2008 Ramblin’ Rose Tour. This event takes place in the beautiful Meadowmont Community which is an interconnected community of private homes, businesses, and conveniently-located retailers and restaurants.
The SWIM

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.

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 the sudden sink in.
