Race 5: A 6K to start pushing your distance and a new course for the series!  This is a sitting water start that begins in the main channel of Lake Wylie. The main channel can have some wind and waves put you will have some protection from the island and the cove to reward your hard efforts in the beginning.  View the virtual run here: https://www.relive.cc/view/v8qV9PVLy36 After starting your race you will hug the inside (right side) of Windjammer Island and come back out to the main channel hugging the right side shoreline.  Make a right hand turn into Snug Harbor Cove and race to the back.  When you get to the back of the cove you will find the large red monster buoy to make your left hand shoulder turn around.  Crush it back out of the cove to the main channel and make a left hand turn back to the start line.  (keep in mind we will not follow the inside of the island on the way back), it is a straight shot home, where you will make a left hand 90 degree turn around the start buoy to the beach for a running sand finish.  Windjammer offers great views for spectators to watch the entire start of the race and everyone coming back down the channel for a photo beach run finish.
