More: Anchor Splash is the final race for the RDE Sprint Grand Prix series, and, like in 2013, will again be a retro reverse race, with a run/bike/swim order of events. Similar course to the TriDeltathon, with a slightly shorter 300 yard short course swim. Like 2014, Bonus Grand Prix points available toward Grand Prix series competition, with Grand Prix awards presented immediately following race awards. Delta Gamma sorority is the volunteer group, with proceeds going to Club Vibes. Expected participation—250.

Directions: From Kingston Pike/Cumberland Ave., turn in west end of Volunteer Blvd. Go to first light and turn left--park in garage on left--Student Aquatic Center will be up the hill on the right.

Map location is based off of a geocode of the addressed entered using Google's Google Maps API. If your address does not geocode properly, you can either update the address (we will attempt to re-geocode after any updates to your entry) or you can use Google's geocoding tool found here: http://gmaps-samples.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/geocoder/singlegeocode.html to obtain a lat/long for your location and enter that. To use the utility, type in an address that is close to your location and then drag-and-drop the marker to obtain the desired lat/long. If you choose to enter a lat/long, you must check the box on the edit page that says, "override geocode with entered lat/long."
