Course and services
The course runs mostly on a paved path by the Tennessee River, behind the campus of Chattanooga State to the Chickamauga Dam. The route is mostly flat with some small inclines and declines. Participants will pass the start/finish/aid station area multiple times and may leave a drop bag for access during the event. Restrooms in heated buildings are available.
Aid station offerings include Gatorade, water, Gu, fruit, candy, cookies, chips, pickles and pickle juice, and other items. The event is described as low-key and non-competitive. The course is not certified and is not a Boston qualifier, but it is measured accurately and USATF sanctioned. Results are posted online; timing is provided but not by high-precision chip timing. The races proceed in most weather unless prohibited by the park service or dangerous conditions occur. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
