Team Magic Kicks Off Triathlon Season With A Change in TN
McMinnville Tri Replaces GJCC
Come join us for our 8th year in the great community of McMinnville. New this year - we have shortened the distances and changed the date due to the cancelation of our GJCC Memorial Day Triathlon that has been held in Nashville for the past five years. The wildly successful sellout GJCC Triathlon has unfortunately been canceled by our host facility due to staff changes. We loved working with them and will miss them of course. For those of you that have never been to McMinnville, it is only about 75 miles southeast of Nashville and the race is starting at 8:30 am to give morning arrivals a little more time!
Team Magic wants to continue offering an early season beginner friendly option so the nice folks at McMinnville have agreed to make the date/distance adjustment.
The new race distances will be just like the GJCC for the swim at 200 meters and the run at 2 miles. The bike course will be slightly longer at 10.5 miles but an easier course than GJCC.
The outdoor pool is set up with 50 meter lanes for the race and the other side of the pool is GREAT for post-race fun for the kids, or triathletes that like to pretend they are kids! You will be hard pressed to find a more welcoming crowd than the city of McMinnville police, emergency, and recreation center personnel and the local volunteers.
Online registration is now open - those pre-registered for GJCC should have received a direct communication from Team Magic, but can also contact races@team-magic.com for complete details and options.
