📅 Event Details

• Date: 2026-01-10
• Location: 4301 Amnicola Highway, Chattanooga, TN
• Course: Mostly flat, some small inclines/declines, on a paved path that meanders by the Tennessee River, behind the campus of Chattanooga State to the Chickamauga Dam.
• Facilities: Restrooms with toilets that flush and sinks with running water and soap in heated buildings.

🎉 Race Atmosphere

You will pass the start/finish/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, and eat and drink to your heart's content!

• Camaraderie: It's much more about camaraderie than competition.
• Inclusiveness: Welcoming atmosphere focused on having fun and reaching your goals.
• Time Limit: There is a time limit of five hours for all distances.

Your registration fee includes:

• Entry: Into the race distance of your choosing.
• Results: Online results.
• Swag: A winter - or summer - hat, along with our usual "bonus swag."
• Fun Medals: Going back to the oversized coffee mug medal, since that’s what y’all said you wanted us to keep around!

📦 Packet Pickup

📋 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. Please don’t ask, it makes our race director cry when she has to say no. The races will go on rain, snow, or shine, unless the park service prohibits us from having a race.

🎈 What to Expect

Awesomesauce Events produces low-key, laid-back running events that are focused more about camaraderie instead of competition. You won’t find mid-race splits or mile markers: our races are more like having a picnic with your friends with some running or walking thrown in for fun.
