Burn Your Half Off
Burn Your Half Off is a community-focused running and walking event in Chattanooga, Tennessee, held at 4301 Amnicola Highway. Available distances are listed below:
- 5K
- 10K
- Half marathon (13.1 miles)
The event emphasizes camaraderie over competition. Everyone who finishes receives a finisher skull medal; a special Sloth Society medal is awarded to the last finisher. There is a four hour time limit for all distances, and race staff will remain briefly to help participants who are close to finishing while the pavilion must be checked out.
The start/finish area doubles as a super aid station that participants pass multiple times during the course. The aid station supplies unlimited ice, Gatorade, water, salty and sugary snacks, fruit including bananas, oranges, and watermelon, and banana smoothies. Sunscreen, Vaseline, and other basic supplies are available. Participants may leave a drop bag at the start/finish to access personal items during the race.
Registration fees listed for each distance include entry, a plush towel, a finisher medal, access to the aid station, and post-race snacks. Shirts and additional swag are available for purchase on site. Parking is limited and prices increase as the race fills. Registration fees and add-ons are final and not refundable or transferable. The event proceeds in rain or snow or shine unless unsafe conditions such as lightning require delay or cancellation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
