WELCOME TO THE CHATTANOOGA WATERFRONT TRIATHLON!

This downtown triathlon takes the place of the popular Chattanooga Dam Triathlon of years past and the original Riverbend Triathlon from "many moons" ago. The Chattanooga triathlon tradition began over 25 years ago - we are happy to keep it alive and hope you agree we have developed one of the best races in the country - not to be missed!

 

Look for a great weekend expo, great downtown Chattanooga restaurants and entertainment, and a fantastic day of racing along Chattanooga's revitalized waterfront. For newcomers and veterans alike... hold onto your tri bars, we are promising you a great weekend!
