TRINOOGA Spring EDITION 2026
The Chattanooga Tri Club is so excited to host you for our Spring Tri Nooga Spring event.
This is a weekend to celebrate multi-sport activities in Chattanooga. The Scenic City is one of 10 cities in the world that is home to both the Full Ironman and 70.3 races, and hundreds of triathletes from around the country now come to our city to enjoy training here, in what is arguably the triathlon capital of the Southeast.
The dates of Tri Nooga Spring are Friday, April 17th – Sunday, April 19th 2026. You can choose to participate in whatever activities you would like. Of course the more you do the more fun you will have.
Spring Tri Nooga Registration is Open to club members and non-members (membership included) until slots are filled.

You will exit the water past the Southern Belle on the Duck Boat Ramp. There will be people there to help you out of the water. There will be a shoe drop at the swim entrance and the shoes will be brought to swim exit. Last swimmer must be out of the water by 9:00

There will be one aid station on the Riverwalk near the rowing center on a picnic table that you will pass multiple times. The course will be marked appropriately with arrows.

Routes:
These are pending confirmation/approval from the city.
Garmin: Run Course. Slightly modified from the race. We will not run on Amnicola, to avoid traffic.
Garmin - Course created from 4/21 run. - a few notes on arrows. This garmin run started about .2 from the Southern Belle. Leave the Belle and head up river. As you come to the top of the first hill, go up the stairs (lots of arrows). Do not go on Amnicola, which is the race course. We stay off that for Trinooga. Later, you’ll see a pink X made of arrows, which is where the aide station will be. The turn around is up a little further - it is slightly further than previous courses, do to IM route change. The turn around is marked with arrows. If you need a bathroom, there is one just slightly further than the turn around. Through this whole part, you will see arrows going both ways, as this section is an out and back. As you return to downtown, stay on the road at Battery, you’ll head down a little alley, and then turn right on Veterans. Arrows should be great until you get off the walking bridge (we notices this morning that someone had removed an arrow - it was replaced, just a heads up). Rest is clear - you’ll cross the road to the point where you went up the stairs, turn left and head back to the Belle
RidewithGPS: Bike Course. Cues added for road hazards and busy areas.
