NEW RACE. Let’s talk about it.
On August 25th we’ll be introducing a new race to the Nashville area, Tri Nashville. Our only pool swim triathlon of the season as it takes the place of our popular Cedars of Lebanon Triathlon; that came to it’s conclusion after 15 years as the pool is no longer being maintained.
We’ll be doing 4 laps in the pool at before heading over to the for transition. The bike will be an urban ride through Sylvan Heights coming back to transition via Charlotte, Ave. The run will then take place on the Centennial Park greenways.
We’re super pumped about this race and can’t wait to see it all take place. If you or your friends have been looking for a sprint triathlon, especially with a pool swim, then this is where it’s at.
We hope you’ll join us there racing, volunteering, or spectating as we bring this totally new race to Nashville.
