400 yd swim / 1.5 mi run / 12 mi bike / 1.5 mi run

Hendersonville, TN

 

 

Welcome to the 7th Annual Old Hickory Lake Triathlon!
Join us for this unique triathlon, with the run segment split into half. You will swim in a very calm inlet off of Old Hickory Lake, run 1.5 miles from the lake to the transition area, complete your 12.5 mile bike ride, then run another 1.5 miles to the finish. The race transition is actually only 0.6 miles from the swim area. The race finish will be adjacent to the race transition area, which is located JUST BEHIND your host hotel Holiday Inn of Hendersonville. To provide what we thought was the best transition and finish area, it required us to have the transition more than a short jog from your swim exit. So, you get to experience a non-typical triathlon! Many triathlons have rather long runs from the swim exit to the transition, but we felt 0.6 miles was too much. You will be walking / jogging the 0.6 miles to the swim start from the main transition area for the race start, so plan accordingly.

 

RACE LIMIT = 448
