Welcome to the Amica Insurance Old Hickory Lake Triathlon!
We are so excited to be bringing you our 8th year of this popular event! Team Magic started our Tennessee triathlon adventure with this event at just over 180 racers and now we sell out at our event capacity of 455 racers. So, don't wait, plan to join us for this unique triathlon, with the run course split into two segments.

 

New for 2009, we announce our title sponsor Amica Insurance - here is a word from their senior management team: "Amica Insurance is extremely proud to be the Title Sponsor of the Old Hickory Triathlon," explains Robert DiMuccio, CEO of Amica Insurance. "Amica understands that to be a triathlete, athletes have to be committed, dedicated and work extremely hard to accomplish their goals.  These traits are also true for how Amica conducts business everyday and has for more than 100 years. Our goal is to provide great insurance while serving our customers like they've never been served before, with integrity, humanity and fairness."

 

Amica Mutual Insurance Company, nationally known for exceptional customer service and going the distance, appreciates the triathletes' passion, determination and achievement of personal excellence.  The company is a national writer of automobile, homeowners, marine, and personal umbrella liability insurance. Life coverage is available through Amica Life Insurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary. Amica employs more than 3,100 people in 39 offices across the country. 

Amica is considered the best kept secret in the industry.  Founded in 1907, customers previously only knew of this award winning company by word of mouth.  Want to learn more?  Visit Amica.com or call 866-51-AMICA (26422) to be connected to an office near you.   

 

WHAT TO EXPECT AT THIS UNIQUE TRIATHLON

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 = 455
