Chattanooga, Tennessee has been selected to host
the eleventh race in the IRONMAN® U.S. Series. The inaugural IRONMAN
Chattanooga triathlon will take place on Sunday, September 28, 2014.
"With
the rapid growth of triathlon in the Southeast, it is the perfect time
for us to expand and add IRONMAN Chattanooga to our 2014 event
calendar," said Andrew Messick, Chief Executive Officer of IRONMAN. "We
selected Chattanooga as it is a beautiful city and a premier outdoor
sports destination. We are thrilled to bring IRONMAN here and to partner
with the city to deliver a top level event."
One of more than 30
events in the global IRONMAN Series, IRONMAN Chattanooga leads athletes
through a 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26.2-mile run on a course
that utilizes a variety of Chattanooga's scenic areas. The race will
start with a single loop 2.4-mile swim through the Tennessee River with
ample spectator vantage points alongside Chattanooga's famous Riverwalk.
The bike will be a two-loop 56-mile course with scenic farmland and
mountain views. The two and a half loop 26.2-mile run course will
showcase beautiful downtown Chattanooga, the South Side, Riverview and
the North Shore. Athletes can expect a fast, rolling course with
friendly sights and faces along the entire run.
