The Chattanooga Sports Committee has landed a 5-year contract to host the Ironman triathlon. The competitions will include a 2.4-mile swim of the Tennessee River, a 112-mile bike ride and a 26.2-mile run. The first will be held Sept., 28, 2014, and officials say more than 25 hundred people will participate each year. The event could result in a $40 million dollar economic impact for Chattanooga. That would make it a hugely profitable sporting event for the city. Chattanooga will be among 11 Ironman cities in the United States.
