The Greenway Challenge will consist of trail running, cycling (mountain or cyclocross bikes), paddling, obstacle courses and mystery events. 2 and 3 person teams will be allowed. All teams will be required to stay together during all events unless otherwise directed. All competitors will be required to have an annual USA Triathlon License or purchase a 1 day for $10.00. (Every team member will be required to have a USAT License.)

Most proceeds from the race will go to benefit the work of the North Chickamauga Creek Conservancy. The race name relates to the challenge of completing the Greenway corridor along North Chickamauga Creek, one of the main goals of the organization. The objective is to link the North Chickamauga Creek Greenway Farm, situated along the last three miles of the creek as it flows into the Tennessee River, to the North Chickamauga Creek Gorge, including the 3,700 acre North Chickamauga Gorge State Natural Area, along a contiguous green corridor. To date, more than 10,000 acres have been conserved. The Greenway, when completed, will link up with the Tennessee RiverPark, providing an unobstructed pedestrian pathway from downtown Chattanooga to the North Chickamauga Creek Gorge. The Greenway will also be connected to the Cumberland Trail, Tennessee’s first linear state park, providing virtually unlimited opportunities for recreational activities.
