The Guild 7 Trail Race

The Guild 7 Trail Race is a 7-mile event in Chattanooga, Tennessee, run along the Guild-Hardy Trail, a well-groomed “truck” trail popular with runners, walkers, hikers, and cyclists. The course features a 3.5-mile uphill climb to a turnaround at a large boulder, followed by a 3.5-mile descent back to the start, tracing a historic corridor dating to the 1880s that once served Lookout Mountain. Limited to 100 participants, parking is scarce and carpooling is encouraged.

All entrants receive a custom HOKA backpack, with top finishers earning prize money and awards for the top three overall. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
