Anderson, South Carolina : August 25-26, 2007
REGISTRATION - Registration is still available and online registration will remain open until midnight Saturday. On site registration will be also available at the race site on Saturday.
Overview:
Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, skirted by lakes and rivers, Anderson lies along the South Carolina Heritage Corridor in the state’s northwestern corner in a region known as The Upstate. Positioned just two hours from Atlanta, Georgia and Charlotte, North Carolina on what was once Cherokee hunting ground, Anderson is studded with landmarks from its past. From pioneer log cabins to stately mansions, the area holds treasures for those wishing to explore its history. The county seat, Anderson, was heralded as the “City of Hospitality” for its gracious air and beautiful gardens.
During the industrial revolution it was reborn as the “Electric City” for its pioneering use of hydroelectric power. Anderson is situated on the shores of Lake Hartwell, one of the most popular lakes in the Southeast. Lake Hartwell is 56,000 acres big, with more than 900 miles of shoreline, making it a paradise for outdoor activities and perfect for this new stop in the TriAmerica National Series Tour.
