_ The 2021 Dickson Endurance and Iron Nugget Sprint Triathlon:

Thanks for your patience, support, and understanding during this difficult time. While we were hopeful we would be able to stage the Dickson Endurance & Iron Nugget Sprint Triathlons on May 9, 2020, it is becoming more apparent that this will not be a viable option. The uncertainty of what will happen if the stay at home directive is lifted in May, not knowing if the CDC will have new guidelines in place for mass gatherings moving forward, along with other concerns, leave us no choice but to completely postpone the events to May 20121.

15K run returns to Endurance distance triathlon run & enjoy a NEWLY PAVED TRANSITION AREA in 2020! New participant limits will be in effect as we expect more interest with the park improvements.  

2019 Water temp May 8th was 75 degrees. Link to 2019 Pre-race information
