2007 Setup Championship Invitational Triathlon comes to Raleigh, NC

The 2007 Setup Championship Invitational Triathlon is a race available to only those triathletes that have qualified in the NCTS, SCTS, VTS or ETS. The qualification procedure reduces the 10,000+ participants over multiple states down to ~300.

It will be hosted at Falls Lake (Beaverdam entrance) on October 20th.

Not only is this race more convenient to triathletes, but instead of starting at 6:30am (like some others), the race doesn't begin until 9am. This should help convince spectators to wake and watch at this beautiful venue.

Another interesting element of this race is that it's an "equalizer" start. This means all women will start at 9am, then the men have a 14 minute deficit to make up.

The first 3 finishers (regardless of gender) earn the prize money ($1,000 for 1st).
