_The 2024 Booking It Through the Bluff Triathlon & 10K:

The Hokes Bluff Library Foundation and our co-sponsors, the Hokes Bluff Lions Club and Tawannah Lions Club, invite everyone to join us as we go "BOOKING IT" THROUGH THE BLUFF on April 20, 2024. Options for races include a 10K Run Only beginning at 8:00 AM and a Triathlon starting at 8:30 AM.

The triathlon will be an exciting triathlon totaling 42 kilometers starting at the Hokes Bluff Community Center.  Athletes will begin with a 5K run through the streets of Hokes Bluff to Hokes Bluff Ferry Road.  Participants will then kayak 4.5 kilometers paddling with the current on the Coosa River until they reach the designated landing spot at the Coosa Veranda boat ramp. All triathlon participants will be required to wear life jackets when in and around the water. The race will continue, as the challengers complete a vigorous 32.4 kilometers cycle through Eastern Etowah County to the finish line at the Hokes Bluff Community Center. The triathlon can be completed by an individual athlete or team groups of two or three. The triathlon requests that participants meet a minimum age requirement of 14 years old. 

The 10K route will lead runners through the heart of Hokes Bluff, beginning and ending at the Hokes Bluff Community Center. 

All proceeds from both races benefit the Hokes Bluff Library Foundation.
