COURSE DESCRIPTION
1.5k swim / 42k bike /10k run

MAIN STAGING AREA - TRANSITION & FINISH & EXPO
The main staging area is on the two lawns at the corner of Chestnut Street and Riverfront Parkway. The finish line is on Riverfront Parkway between the river and the transition area.

The race transition area is organized based on your assigned race number. The bike racks are marked by ranges of "7" numbers, beginning with 1 through 7 and so on. You do not have to rack in numerical order ON the rack, but your bike must be racked on the rack designated for your race number range.

SWIM COURSE INFO
Assigned based on submitted estimated swim time with Relay Teams starting after all individual racers, based on their estimated swim time within the relay teams. If you are an individual racer that is also swimming for a relay team, you must start with the relay team number.

SWIM COURSE DESCRIPTION
The swim course is 1.5k point-to-point in the Tennessee River. The swim will go with the current. Shuttles will take athletes from the main staging area to the University of Tennessee Chattanooga Rowing Center. The shuttles will leave from the corner of Chestnut and Riverfront Parkway, adjacent to the race transition area. The swim exit will be at the North Terrace on the waterfront, before the City Pier. You will run up some stairs from the waterfront to the transition area. The race transition will be on the waterfront side of the Chattanooga Aquarium on Riverfront Parkway on the "South Green." SHOULD YOU REQUIRE ASSISTANCE ON THE SWIM AND TAKE A LIFE PRESERVER FROM THE WATER VOLUNTEERS, PLEASE RETURN IT TO THE FOOD TENT IN THE POST RACE AREA. If you DO use a flotation device to MOVE FORWARD, you will be disqualified from the race.

The water temperature is expected to be somewhere close to 28 degrees C / 82 degrees F, which means NOT wetsuit legal. Feel free to bring a wetsuit just in case we dip below 78 F!

BIKE COURSE
The bike course leaves the transition left onto Riverfront Parkway, left onto ML King, onto Hwy 27 North, turnaround just before Hwy 153, exit Hwy 27 onto ML King, right on ML King, right on Riverside/Riverfront, end at Transition at Ross Landing Park.

PRINTABLE OVERVIEW OF THE ENTIRE BIKE COURSE.

RUN COURSE
The 10k run course is an out-and-back course through part of downtown and on the Riverwalk. Water stations will be located approximately every mile and in the transition area.

Runners exit the transition lawn on the east side, onto Chestnut Street. The course goes North on Chestnut, taking a quick right onto Riverfront Parkway. At the top of the hill, angle left onto the Veterans Bridge exit ramp. Cross under the High Street overpass. Immediately after crossing under the Riverwalk bridge, turn left, up the steps. Continue bending to the left onto the Riverwalk and across the bridge that you just passed under. After crossing Veterans Bridge / Georgia Avenue, turn left onto the first access sidewalk on your left, then a quick right onto Battery Place. Stay on Battery Place until the bottom of the hill (at Mabel) where you get back on the Riverwalk proper. From this point, the course follows the Riverwalk. The 5k turnaround is located roughly 3/10 mile past the Curtain Pole parking area and bathroom.

IMPORTANT RULES FOR
RACE PACKET PICK UP
Please review the basics below and open the link to the USAT Most Commonly Violated Rules.

This race is sanctioned by USA Triathlon and directed by Therese Bynum and Faye Yates, co-owners of Team Magic, Inc. and Certified Race Directors.

NEW FOR 2011:
USAT annual members that register online for Team Magic races now have membership numbers and expiration dates approved through imAthlete.com and no longer have to show their USAT member cards at packet pick up.

If there are any questions regarding your membership status you should receive a message from event management directing you to a check in area at packet pick up for "PENDING" issues.

REQUIREMENTS AT USAT SANCTIONED EVENTS:

1. EVERYONE MUST SHOW A PHOTO ID

2. IF YOUR USAT MEMBERSHIP HAS EXPIRED, YOU MUST PAY FOR A NEW ANNUAL OR ONE-DAY MEMBERSHIP AND SIGN A WAIVER

3. EACH MEMBER OF RELAY TEAMS MUST BE AN ANNUAL MEMBER OF USAT OR PAY THE ONE-DAY MEMBERSHIP FEE. ALL RELAY MEMBERS MUST BE PRESENT TO PICK UP THEIR PACKET, OR THEY CAN PICK UP INDIVIDUALLY WITH THE LAST MEMBER OF THE RELAY TEAM TO PICK UP RECEIVING THE TIMING CHIP.

4. RACERS MUST PICK UP THEIR OWN PACKETS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES CAN A RACER PICK UP ANOTHER RACER'S PACKET IF THEY ARE RACING. YOU MAY PICK UP A RACER'S PACKET IF THEY ARE NOT RACING, BUT NO TIMING CHIP OR BIB NUMBER WILL BE DISTRIBUTED.

RELAY TEAM INFO

There will be a RELAY EXCHANGE TENT in the race transition area (see map.) All relay members are to stay under this tent while waiting for your team member to bring you the timing chip. Your exchange point will be AT THE TENT, not at the bike rack. The biker will place the bike frame number on the bike, and the helmet number on the helmet. The runner will wear the paper bib number. The swimmer only needs the swim cap. All relay members need TriTats race numbering. You will pass the timing chip from swimmer, to biker, to runner. The relay teams will have a separate bike rack adjacent to the Relay Tent, not part of the main transition area.

Parking & Other Reminders

1.Parking is available in the Republic Parking lot adjacent to the main staging area- this is the closest parking lot - of course if you are staying downtown, you can just ride on down on your bike. You will need to pay to use Republic Lot. Don't forget to pay at the station.

2. Trash & Recycling - we will provide containers for both. Please, please, please do the right thing and dispose of your trash in bags or containers provided and put your plastic and cans in the recycling bins. Nothing is worse than picking up a hot banana peel at the end of race day - help us out, thanks!

3. Award Ceremony - we will not be saving awards for those that cannot attend the award ceremony. If you are eligible to receive an award, please ask a friend to pick yours up. We really want you to stick around for post-race festivities and cheer on racers. Awards will take place as soon as possible after the last finisher - between 12:00 - 1:00 pm.

4. Portable Toilets - there will be portable toilets staged around the transition area and expo area as well as at the bike course turnaround. There are also restroom facilities or portalets available along your run course and at the swim start area.

Stuffitts is a uniquely effective and affordable drying system for shoes.

Stuffitts is a soft, form-fitting shape that is inserted into shoes after each wearing. Combining new fabric technology, a unique foot-shaped design that maximizes point-to-point absorption, and a soft cedar core – a pair of Stuffitts can maximize the performance of your shoes by protecting them from moisture and odor! Stuffitts work effectively in all types of shoes...they also come in sizes to fit men, women, and children. They are made from 100% natural cedar and are 100% reusable.

Stuffitts absorb moisture and odor upon contact and eliminate 85% of wetness in less than an hour, compared to air-drying and other methods (powders, gels, and sprays) which can take much longer and are often ineffective.

RELAY TEAM INFO

There will be a RELAY EXCHANGE TENT in the race transition area (see map.) All relay members are to stay under this tent while waiting for your team member to bring you the timing chip. Your exchange point will be AT THE TENT, not at the bike rack. The biker will place the bike frame number on the bike, and the helmet number on the helmet. The runner will wear the paper bib number. The swimmer only needs the swim cap. All relay members need to be body marked. You will pass the timing chip from swimmer, to biker, to runner. The relay teams will have a separate bike rack adjacent to the Relay Tent, not part of the main transition area.

All Relay Teams will check in for packet pick up at the Main Athlete Tent - large white tent - in main expo area.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
1.5k swim / 42k bike /10k run

The race transition area is organized based on your assigned race number. Since you will be starting the swim based on your race number assigned by age group per USAT rules for championship and qualifier racers, you will be traveling the same distance through transition as those you are competing against in your age group. The bike racks are marked by ranges of "7" numbers, beginning with 1 through 7 and so on. You do not have to rack in numerical order ON the rack, but your bike must be racked on the rack designated for your race number range.

SHOULD YOU REQUIRE ASSISTANCE ON THE SWIM AND TAKE A LIFE PRESERVER FROM THE WATER VOLUNTEERS, PLEASE RETURN IT TO THE FOOD TENT IN THE POST RACE AREA. If you DO use a flotation device to MOVE FORWARD, you will be disqualified from the race.

The water temperature is expected to be somewhere close to 28 degrees C / 82 degrees F, which means NOT wetsuit legal. Feel free to bring a wetsuit just in case we dip below 78 F!

SWIM START INFORMATION:
The swim will be conducted in a time-trial fashion with individuals starting the race at approximately 3 second intervals based on race number, with racer number 1 being first. Since this race is the USA Triathlon National Championship Special Qualifier, we will organize racers by age group per USA Triathlon rules for championship and qualifier races. There will be an ELITE wave offered this year.

We do change the swim order a bit each year - just remember - we must start you in your age group range since this race is a qualifier for the USAT National Championship AND someone will always have to start at the end, sorry. Also, remember due to weight limitations at our swim start, we must do this race as an interval start. For those of you to the rear of the start, thanks for your patience and understanding.

Ellington Parkway will be completely closed to traffic during the event. The run course will be a two-loop 5k course totaling 10k of running for the intermediate distance and one-loop for the short distance on a nice mix of the east side and the west side of the river in the downtown business district.
