The 2020 Atomic races have been designated as our LEFTOVER SPECIAL. This means each participant can choose 3 additional past race or swag items at packet pickup! We will be announcing early packet pickup times as the events get closer. 

The Atomic Sprint / Olympic Triathlon / Duathlon returns in 2020! You now have a choice of Sprint & Olympic triathlon or Duathlon.

Melton Hill Campground - Campground is right across park access road from transition and finish area. The availability of sites should be good being early October. Here is a link to reservations through the Recreation Resource Management site. You can get sites on a "walk-up" basis but I'd recommend viewing on-line availability, map, etc. to get a spot that wil work for you. Here is also a link to Lenoir City hotels / restaurants about 4 to 5 miles away with minimal traffic. Lenoir City Hotels & Restaurants - Click
