Fundraiser for River’s Way Outdoor Adventure Center


Race Description:
For 2008, River’s Way will host a duathlon/triathlon at Osceola Island, just below the dam on South Holston Lake. The parking lot at Osceola Island provides a perfect transition spot for the race. Racers will run around the island on well maintained forest trails. The cycling is the same route as last year, on open country roads in the rural area surrounding the lake. The kayaking will be on the river, between the weir dams and the main dam. Since the TVA will not be generating during the race, the river in this section is more like a lake.

Triathlon Race Distances:
Kayak - 2.2.miles
Cycling - 12.2 miles on country roads
Running - approximately 3 miles on flat, well maintained trails

Duathlon Race Distances:
Cycling - 12.2 miles on country roads
Running - approximately 6 miles on flat, well maintained trails
