If you are coming from Birmingham or Chattanooga area, you can take the new 840 from I-65 or I-24. 840 is only a couple of miles west I-40 exit 238. OR, for a real short cut....if you are traveling from the Birmingham area or Chattanooga area, or in between...take I-840 from I-65 or I-24, then exit for the Nashville Speedway off of 840. Go to Hwy 231, go north on 231, the park entrance will be on your right within a few miles. This will take at least 10 minutes off of your drive. YAHOO! map If you have not booked your hotel, check out these options - the first two are about 5 to 6 miles from the race site: Holiday Inn Express 826 South Cumberland Street Lebanon, TN 37087 615-994-3225 Ask for Cedars of Lebanon Triathlon Discount to get this rate: $114.99 America’s Best Value 822 South Cumberland Street Lebanon, TN 37087 Ask for Cedars of Lebanon Triathlon Discount to get this rate: $64.99 Sleep Inn by Choice Hotels Located about 10 minutes from the race site just off of I-40 (615) 449-7005 6. ROUGH ROAD ALERT ON MILES 13.5 - 15.5 Please show caution as you enter the "wooded area" from Norene Road back into the park. This segment has rough road surface - bumpy surface and washed areas along the very edge. This area is also quite shaded - but please know that there are very few actual "holes" in the pavement and any have been marked. Just realize a bit of the ride will be bumpy. There are two bridges that will be covered with carpet - again, very ridable just show caution - they are very short bridges. Keep in mind that this is the 5th annual event on this road - so this is NOT new or worse, just please take note, show caution and know that miles 1 to about 13.5 are GREAT road surface so make up your time and enjoy there, thanks!
