IRONMAN Chattanooga changes bike course for 2024 race

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (WDEF) —  Traffic patterns may be different in the 2024 Chattanooga IRONMAN triathlon.

IRONMAN Chattanooga has announced that the bike course will be different this year as they’re moving it onto US-27.

After completing the swimming portion, athletes will be directed toward Riverfront Parkway, and then to head south on Martin Luther King Boulevard.

The racers will then get onto US-27, and will turn around in Soddy Daisy, right before the stretch over Chickamauga Lake.

Bikers are required to complete 3 laps on the highway in order to complete the bike course.

This is different from the previous bike route, which went the opposite direction, through downtown Chattanooga, and into Georgia.

The new bike course map is pictured below.
