    Like a triathlon… minus the bike, plus the impact.

    This isn’t your typical multisport race... and that’s the point.

    Bikeless is a fresh spin on the traditional triathlon format by Chroma Team Racing, swapping out the cycling leg to spotlight something even bigger: community impact. Instead of racing on bikes, Chroma Team Racing is donating them. Every registration helps support Oasis Bike Workshop, a program empowering youth through bike maintenance, riding, and team-building. When you race, you’re riding for someone else. This is the inaugural Bikeless duathlon in the Nashville, TN area.

    The Race Details

    📍 Location: Jimmy Floyd Center, Lebanon, TN

    📅 Race Day:

    • Check-in: Opens at 6:10 AM, closes at 7:10 AM
    • Pre-Race Announcements: 7:20 AM
    • First Swimmer Start: 7:30 AM (time-trial format)

    The Course

    🏊 500m Swim

    A gorgeous outdoor Olympic-distance pool sets the stage. You’ll swim a continuous zig-zag across 10 lanes (50 meters each), moving from one lane to the next with each turn.

    Time-trial format = one swimmer every ~10 seconds = smooth flow, no crowding.

    👟 5K Run

    Out of the pool, into your shoes, and onto the Lebanon greenway, a fast and scenic route through connected parks and shaded stretches. It’s as peaceful as it is fast.


    Why Bikeless?

    Because we believe in giving back while we go forward. Your race entry helps fund bikes, gear, and mentorship for youth bike teams through Oasis Center. You’ll have the option to add a donation directly during registration too.

    Race Highlights

    🏆 Prize packages for the top overall male & female finishers

    🎖 Podium awards for age-group winners

    ⏱ 60-minute race cap—get in, go hard, give back

    ☀️ Sunrise start. Scenic course. Community-first vibe.

    Sign up for Bikeless: A Swim and Run Race and make your miles matter.

    Grab your spot, grab your goggles, and leave the bike at home—we’ve got bigger wheels turning.
