Riverbluff Triathlon
The Riverbluff Triathlon takes place on August 22, 2027 in Ashland City, Tennessee. Event staging is at Riverbluff Park (175 Old Cumberland St) with transition set in the boat ramp parking area. The event benefits the Quintenn Clark Foundation.
Distances for each discipline:
- Swim: Sprint 400 m, Olympic 1.1 km
- Bike: Sprint 12.1 mi, Olympic 23 mi
- Run: Sprint 5 km, Olympic 10 km
The swim is held in Cheatham Lake, part of the Cumberland River system, and is conducted in a time-trial format with athletes entering the water approximately every three seconds. Race numbers are assigned to clubs and teams first, then by estimated swim time for non-club members. Wetsuit use follows USAT rules with permitted, mandatory, allowed, and prohibited temperature ranges: mandatory at 60.6°F and below, permitted 60.7°F to 78°F, allowed 78.1°F to 84°F (results restrictions apply), and prohibited at 84.1°F and above.
The bike course is a loop mostly on Highway 12; Olympic athletes complete two loops and sprint athletes complete one. The transition area is organized by assigned race number and marked bike rack rows. Participants must walk bikes from their rack to the bike mount line and walk them back to the rack at bike finish.
Run courses are out-and-back. The Olympic run reaches the Cumberland River Bicentennial Trail, described as flat, shaded, and lined with wildflowers. Race entry formats include full triathlon, swim and bike, bike and run, and 2- or 3-person relays. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
