IRONMAN Chattanooga

IRONMAN Chattanooga is a full-distance triathlon set along the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, Tennessee, one of the sport's most scenic and challenging venues. The race begins with a downstream point-to-point swim in the Tennessee River starting one mile upstream at a rolling start, continues with a hilly two-loop 116-mile bike course that crosses into north Georgia near Lookout Mountain and through historic Chickamauga, and finishes with a two-loop 26.2-mile run through downtown Chattanooga past the Tennessee Aquarium along the Riverwalk and Veterans Bridge. With approximately 4,300 feet of bike elevation gain, the race rewards technical climbers and is known for spectacular views of the Tennessee Valley.
