Burn Your Half Off, An Awesomesauce Event presented by Run Chattanooga

Event Overview

What's better than running by yourself? Running with a bunch of crazy fun people, that’s what! Spend your Saturday morning running or walking along the beautiful Tennessee River, with a bunch of the funnest people you’ve ever met.

Available Distances

• 5K: A fun and fast distance for all running levels.
• 10K: Perfect for those looking to challenge themselves a bit more.
• Half Marathon: Embrace the challenge on a scenic route.

Important Information

• Pricing: Due to limited parking and space, prices will increase as the race fills up. There IS a cap.
• Facilities: There are toilets that flush and sinks with running water and soap.
• Camaraderie: This is a running and walking event that is MUCH more about camaraderie and fun, not competition.
• Awards: Everyone gets a finisher medal, but the only "award" is the coveted Sloth Society medal that goes to the person who completes the race last. (You must earn it HONESTLY!)

Start/Finish Area

You will come back to the start/finish/super aid station area multiple times throughout the race. This means you’re welcome to leave a drop bag to access your own personal goodies and you can shed layers as you warm up. This is also a good place to reapply sunscreen, address any potential issues such as blisters, etc.

Race Atmosphere

Our races are super low-key and non-competitive: we’d prefer to race you vs. you, not you vs. anyone else. There is a 4 hour time limit for all distances. (If you’re close to finishing past the time limit, we’ll stick around to make sure you get a finish time and a medal - we’re not in the business of taking your hard work away from you, nor do we want you to feel rushed in the heat - but we do have to be checked out of the pavilion.)

Registration Fee

Your registration fee includes entry into the race distance of your choosing, race swag in the form of a beach/pool/lake/shower/we don’t actually care what you use it for towel, finisher medal for all distances, and our usual aid station setup including Gatorade, water, Gu, banana smoothies, unlimited ice, all kinds of snacks and post-race food.

Swag and Registration

Our race swag has to be ordered by May 27th. If you register AFTER that date, we cannot promise you a beach towel, because our crystal ball never gets the prediction of last minute registrations correct, but we will make sure you get a swag item because that would be really mean not to give you something.

Refund Policy

As with any other race put on by any other company, registration fees and add-on fees are final and are not refundable or transferable for any reason. The waiver that you agree to as part of your registration indicates your acceptance of this policy, which is standard in the industry. Prices are subject to change. The races will go on rain, snow (ha!), or shine. We will delay or cancel due to lightning or any other unsafe conditions.
