Swim
The point-to-point swim in the Tennessee River will start 2.4 miles upstream of transition. Athletes will enter the water from a dock in a rolling start. Spectators will have a great opportunity to watch the entire swim as they walk along side the swimmers on the Chattanooga Riverwalk. Athletes will exit the water at the beautiful Ross's Landing Park. You can expect a fast swim split, as all but the final stretch between the red turn buoy and Ross's Landing Park is with the current. Water temperatures in the mid 70's will make wetsuits a race-time decision, so be prepared for both.

Bike
The 116-mile IRONMAN Chattanooga bike course is legendary, making this IRONMAN the longest course in the world. Athletes will ride 11 miles south of town before beginning two 47-mile loops in north Georgia. The additional 4 miles will be sure to give you an additional badge of honor on race day and prove more than worth it thanks to the incredible views as you parallel Lookout Mountain on this rolling course with great road surfaces. As athletes near the end of the loop, they will get the opportunity to ride through historic Chickamauga.

Run
Athletes will have a chance to see the Scenic City as they complete two loops through downtown Chattanooga, The Tennessee Riverwalk, Veterans Bridge, North Shore, Walnut Street Bridge, and the beautiful Riverfront Parkway. The final stretch will bring athletes down Riverfront Parkway towards a spectacular finish at Ross's Landing along the Tennessee River.
