Music City Triathlon
intermediate distance & short course

 

Welcome to the ACME Multisports Music City Triathlon!
A Tradition Continued

 

The Music City Triathlon made a big move to downtown Nashville in 2009. We are back for our 4th year in 2012, and for the second time, with the addition of a Kids Duathlon during packet pick up hours on Saturday. Team Magic has managed the Music City Triathlon since 2006, but it has been around for 34 years in 2012.

 

As for the basics - the event is staged on the east side of the Cumberland River in the area around LP Field, home of the NFL Tennessee Titans. The swim will be in the Cumberland River, starting and finishing from the east side - not a point to point swim, but a rectangular type course. Thanks to TDOT - the bike course will be a two-loop 20k course totaling 40k on Ellington Parkway, which is a short hop from the stadium on downtown streets. 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 a nice mix of the east side and the west side of the river in the downtown business district.

 

Don't forget the short course - there is a short course option, so this is truly an event for everyone. You can choose to race the classic intermediate distance or the shorter option of 400 yd swim / 20k bike / 5k run.

 

And once again for 2012, our second annual Music City Kids Duathlon will be held on Saturday at 9 am. Ages 3-15 are invited to register for varying distances based on age. See race distances here and map of courses with race distances here.

 

Not ready for the whole thing? Relay Teams are always an option as is our Aquabike Category for those who want to just do the swim and the bike.

 

 

2012 USA TRIATHLON REGIONAL SPECIAL QUALIFIER

The 2012 USA Triathlon Age Group National Championship will take place on August 18, 2012 in Burlington, Vermont. Special Qualifying and Regional Championship races will qualify the top 33 percent or top five finishers (whichever is greater) in each age group. MORE INFO.

 

 

Music City Intermediate Distance Triathlon will qualify the top male and female state of Tennessee resident for the 2012 Best of the USA Amateur Competition.

 

 

At the championship race there will be a Best of the U.S. Wave 2 consisting of the 2nd and 3rd place state medalists. First place finishers will still go out ahead of the field in the Champions Wave, as before. But Wave 2 athletes will have the chance to strut their stuff, too, as they will also be eligible for individual awards.

Plus, the presence of your Wave 2 teammates allows us to expand the Fastest State Team Competition to include awards for the Fastest Men’s Team and Fastest Women’s Team, as well as the Fastest Coed Team awards. Now more athletes than ever before have the chance to take home BOUS awards. More on BOUS rules.
