🚴‍♂️ Ironman Chattanooga Bike Course Guide (2025 Edition) 🚴‍♀️

***Edit to clarify the turnaround point from the RD Brian Myrick: “This is a good attempt at trying to put it together. Couple key changes. The location of the “crossover” from last year from southbound side to the northbound side is not the U-turn/lap start… Instead, athletes will head past that spot and get to signal Mtn blvd, or above it I should say, on the highway. There, after a small transition to the uphill, they will u turn and head back up the climb. This will make for the best and safest U-turn. No crazy U-turn on a descent but instead a nice spot where momentum will be your friend and allow you to transition not only around the turn but from the descent to the climb. You’ll pass this on your way out so you’ll have plenty of time to make sense of it. The other change is we will now be riding on the south bound side of the highway all the way up to 153…. Once you get just south of 153, you will crossover to the northbound side and ride in the left lane to the northern turn around. The southbound stretch remains the same with riding in the left lane until you hit 153 where you will shift over at special needs and ride to the right with outbound cyclist to your left. Hope that helps.” In this video, I break down everything you need to know about the Ironman Chattanooga 112-mile bike course — including the new section added in 2025. I raced this course in 2023 and 2024 (yes, the year Hurricane Helene canceled the swim), and I’m sharing my experience, strategy, nutrition, and tips to help you ride it smarter. ✅ Course overview: 3 loops on US-27 with rolling terrain ✅ Elevation profile: ~4,400 ft of climbing + the new out-and-back climb 250 ft (x2) ✅ Aid station locations & personal needs bag strategy ✅ Nutrition & hydration tips (what worked for me) ✅ Race day advice for pacing, passing, and staying safe This course can be fast, but it will test your strategy, patience, and nutrition. Whether you’re looking to crush a PR or just survive the miles, I hope this breakdown helps you feel prepared. 📍 If you’re racing Ironman Chattanooga, let me know in the comments!
