Surrounded by rural countryside and the Chattahoochee National Forest, James H. "Sloppy" Floyd Park is the perfect site for a Sprint distance triathlon. Bring your family and friends - spectators can watch from the bridge as the racers swim under. Also, part of the run will circle the lake so friends and family can cheer their racer to the finish!

James H. "Sloppy" Floyd Park
Surrounded by rural countryside and the Chattahoochee National Forest, this quiet park in Northwest Georgia offers outstanding fishing on two stocked lakes. Visitors can hike along three miles of lake loop trails and relax in swings while watching for the many bluebirds that live in the park. Access to the scenic 60-mile Pinhoti Trail is only a 1.6-mile hike from the park. Children especially enjoy the playground, feeding the fish from the boardwalk and renting pedal boats. A small campground and four cottages are nestled on tree-covered hillsides. This park was named for Rep. James H. "Sloppy" Floyd, who served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 1953 until 1974.

About Rome Triathlon Club:
The Rome Triathlon Club (RTC) is the newest and fastest growing triathlon club in Northwest Georgia. It was founded in 2007 as a social club with the purpose of helping multi-sport enthusiasts in their quest to reach personal goals in triathlons and other multi-sport events. Newcomers to the sport are encouraged to join, as the easiest way to learn the “tricks of the trade” is through the experiences of others.
Members will receive periodic newsletters, opportunities to train alongside some of the best multi-sport athletes in the area, and coaching and instruction from highly respected coaches. We will have member-only events in the area on both an athletic and social level and provide opportunities for all members to purchase club gear.
The RTC will participate in USAT sanctioned events throughout the region, providing support for members and pre / post event social opportunities. We have made an initial three month membership available for you to try it out without having to make a long commitment. Join the club now as we become a premier multi-sport club on both an athletic and social level.
