2026 DAM Triathlon

On Saturday, November 14, 2026, come give it your best dam tri at the first annual Dam Tri at Pickwick Landing State Park in Counce, Tennessee. This one-of-a-kind 39-mile adventure race combines cycling, paddling, and running through some of West Tennessee’s most scenic and historic landscapes.

The Course – 39 Total Miles
🚴 30-Mile Bike (Paved Roads)
The race begins at 8:00 a.m. at Circle Beach inside Pickwick Landing State Park. Racers will launch in 5-second intervals and head out on a scenic paved route toward the historic Shiloh National Military Park. You’ll ride past several notable landmarks within Shiloh before looping back and returning to Pickwick Landing State Park.

🛶 3-Mile Kayak (Flat Water)
After returning to Circle Beach, rack your bike and transition to the water. Paddle a clearly marked, taco-shaped loop around buoys and pontoons on beautiful Pickwick Lake. The calm, flat-water course provides a scenic but steady challenge before heading back to shore. 

🏃 6-Mile Run (Mixed Surface)
Once you’re back on land, lace up for a 6-mile run through Pickwick Landing State Park. This mixed-surface loop includes paved paths, grassy stretches, and wooded natural trails before guiding you back to Circle Beach and the finish line.
