Bad Beard Events Oli Kai

The Bad Beard Events Oli Kai offers a unique running experience with 3, 6, and 9-hour race options set in the scenic Reflection Riding Arboretum and Nature Center in Chattanooga, TN. Participants navigate a 2.1-mile loop trail featuring approximately 190 feet of elevation gain, allowing for flexibility in pacing—runners can choose to run, walk, or skip loops as they wish. The event is designed for all skill levels and includes an aid station, with the option to set up personal support.

In 2024, the event will feature camping, a campfire concert, and a follow-up race, Oli Via. Limited to 70 participants, this event promotes community and outdoor enjoyment. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
