Celebrate more than 20 years of athletic triumph at the Lake Lure Olympiad! After a year of rebuilding following Hurricane Helene, the Lake Lure Olympiad is proud to return in 2026 with a renewed purpose – this year it's Run for Recovery.
Registration is now open for two of the Gorge’s most iconic races: Slam the Dam 10K and Race to the Rock 5K – the unforgettable climb up, up, up to the top of Chimney Rock!
In addition to the races, the weekend also features a golf tournament at Rumbling Bald Resort, bringing athletes, families and the community together to celebrate resilience, connection and progress.
Unfortunately, the triathlon and cycling events will pause this year, this decision reflects the commitment to doing things right. The full Lake Lure Olympiad – including the triathlon – is planned to return in 2027, aligning with the 100th anniversary of the Town of Lake Lure. It will be a milestone year worth celebrating together. For now, you're invited to lace up, challenge yourself and be part of something meaningful.
