The Full Distance Triathlon in Chattanooga is one of the most dynamic and rewarding challenges in the sport. With a current-assisted 2.4-mile swim in the Tennessee River, a hilly 112-mile bike course with 4,300 ft of elevation, and a marathon that winds through Chattanooga’s scenic riverfront and bridges, this race demands more than just endurance — it requires strategic, data-driven preparation.

Our 36-week Full Distance Triathlon Training Plan is purpose-built for competitive Masters athletes (age 40+) who want to race with strength, speed, and confidence. Whether you're chasing a personal best or aiming for the podium, this plan primes your body for every demand Chattanooga throws at you.
