Start your training now for the Sports Barn / Quintana Roo Sprint Triathlon on Sunday August 10th. Athletes (and athletes to be) are encouraged to come to the Chickamauga Dam, then swim, ride, and run to Chattanooga’s Riverfront and downtown.

The Downtown Sports Barn and Quintana Roo present this challenging event. Proceeds benefit First Things First, a Chattanooga-based non-profit organization dedicated to strengthening families.

Participants will begin at 7 a.m. by swimming a quarter-mile in the Chickamauga Lake, then ride 8.2 miles to downtown Chattanooga via Amnicola Highway. Then wrap up the race by running 2 miles around the river front and north shore. Cash prizes will be awarded to the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners overall and in each age group.
