The Half Distance Triathlon in Chattanooga is as thrilling as it is demanding — a 1.2-mile swim in the iconic Tennessee River, a scenic 56-mile bike through North Georgia with views of Lookout Mountain, and a challenging 13.1-mile run across Chattanooga’s most iconic landmarks. To race strong on this course, you need a plan that prepares you for every mile, every climb, every stride.
.
That’s exactly what the 44-Week Intermediate Training Plan delivers.

Why This Plan Works for the Chattanooga Half Distance Triathlon
🏊 Build from the Water Up
The swim begins at Ross’s Landing with a current-assisted 1.2-mile stretch through the Tennessee River. Our program includes open water simulation workouts, form-focused swim drills, and confidence-building intervals to help you master this segment and stay relaxed under pressure.
.
🚴 Dominate the Rolling Hills
Chattanooga’s bike course starts flat but quickly transitions into a rolling 56-mile route through Georgia’s countryside. You'll train with structured power-based workouts that mimic the terrain and intensity of this course. By the time you hit the base of Lookout Mountain, your legs will be ready.
.
🏃 Run Strong to the Finish Line
A half marathon over Chattanooga’s bridges and riverwalk demands stamina and smart pacing. With tempo runs, threshold efforts, and progressive brick sessions built into your plan, you’ll be prepared to execute a fast, controlled run — and finish at Ross’s Landing with power left in your stride.
