The run course boasts a few hills (though not steep ones) to add a little challenge. Mach Tenn is limited to the first 350 registered participants. Included in the post race refreshments are homemade black eyed peas and hot off the griddle "hoe" cakes. Michelob Ultra provided for those 21 years of age and over.
Race Distances - 0.6 mi swim / 16 mi bike / 4 mi run
