Pickwick Dam Tri
The Pickwick Dam Tri is the first annual 39 mile triathlon held at Pickwick Landing State Park in Counce, Tennessee on November 14, 2026. The course combines road cycling, flat-water paddling, and a mixed-surface run, and uses Circle Beach as the transition and finish area.
The route components:
- 30 mile bike on paved roads, passing areas near Shiloh National Military Park
- 3 mile kayak paddle on calm, flat water around a marked buoy loop on Pickwick Lake
- 6 mile run on mixed surfaces including paved paths, grass, and wooded trails
Two registration options are offered: a bring-your-own-kayak option and a park-provided kayak option. Registration opens March 1, 2026 and closes October 1, 2026. Entry fees differ by option and include a race shirt for participants who register by October 27, 2026.
Cutoff and services: participants must complete the bike and paddle sections within 6 hours and the entire course within 8 hours. Aid stations are located along the bike route, at Circle Beach, and near the run trailhead. Packet pickup is available at the park office in the days before the race and at a shelter on race day. Awards, finisher recognition, and post-race food and drinks are provided. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
