The Start and Finish is located at Gossett Tract, part of the Harpeth River State Park system.
The Harpeth River State Park system is located just 15min West of Nashville Tennessee. If you have never been to this area imagine rolling country hills surrounded by large limestone bluffs that owe their beauty in part to the scenic Harpeth River. This park has many treasures, one of which are river access points maintained by the park for public use. This allows everyone to enjoy the wonders of nature that are unique to this area. Support-A-Park is proud to make The Harpeth Hustle Triathlon our very first event.
10/06/18
The harpeth hustle triathlon starts at 9:00am. There will be staggered starts every 3 - 4 min. beginning with the paddling portion. You will end the river portion 7.4 miles downstream at the Harris Street Bridge take out. You will then run/walk 0.5 miles on a hiking trail following the river. You will exit the trail at the Narrows of the Harpeth (part of the park) and run/walk the remaining 2.5 miles on pavement. Following the river, Cedar Hill Rd. will lead you back to the Start/Finish area where your bikes will be waiting for you.
