Nashville Women's Triathlon
The Nashville Women's Triathlon takes place in Midtown Nashville with staging adjacent to Centennial Park, the Parthenon, and the Tennessee Woman Suffrage Monument. The event combines a 50-meter indoor pool swim, urban bike routes through Sylvan Park and nearby streets, and a flat run on Centennial Greenway paths.
- Super Sprint: 100 m swim, 8k bike, 2k run
- Sprint: 200 m swim, 15k bike, 4k run
The swim uses an interval start in the indoor pool with competitors entering one at a time by race number; racers may move to the back of the line. The pool exit leads about 0.15 miles to the transition area on pavement and sidewalk, where a staging area for shoes is available.
The bike courses offer an urban tour from Centennial Park with a two-loop option for the sprint distance, and a mix of flat sections, moderate climbs, and downhill segments. Police will control intersections, and designated bike lanes or coned car lanes are used on several streets. A BIKE MOUNT / DISMOUNT LINE requires walking the bike from the rack to the mount line.
The run is fully flat on park paths and finishes adjacent to the Parthenon. Race formats include full triathlon, swim-bike, bike-run, aquabike, and 2- or 3-person relays. The event is sanctioned by USA Triathlon and uses electronic timing chips on disposable ankle bands; photo ID and individual packet pickup are required.
