DEKA ULTRA Raleigh

In late August, Raleigh's summer heat starts to ease, making it a great time to explore the city between sessions. The Raleigh Convention Center sits downtown, steps away from the scenic Capital Area Greenway trail and the North Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences, a must-see for curious minds. For a true local bite, head to a nearby barbecue joint for pulled pork and hushpuppies, or grab a craft beer at one of the many breweries along the Warehouse District.
