Burn Your Half Off
Burn Your Half Off takes place on July 11, 2026 in Chattanooga, Tennessee at 4301 Amnicola Highway. The event returns to the Riverpark and has been held for more than ten years. It is organized as a community running and walking event that emphasizes camaraderie over competition.
Available distances:
- Half marathon, 13.1 miles
- 10K
- 5K
The course layout brings participants back to the start/finish/super aid station area multiple times. That area serves as a drop bag zone and a place to shed layers, reapply sunscreen, or address issues such as blisters. The organizers describe the aid station as offering unlimited ice, Gatorade, water, salty and sugary snacks, fruit including bananas, oranges, and watermelon, and banana smoothies. They also provide sunscreen, Vaseline, and other basic supplies.
Facilities include toilets that flush and sinks with running water and soap. Due to limited parking and space, entry prices increase as the race fills. All distances have a four hour time limit; staff will stay to help participants who are close to finishing but the pavilion must be checked out afterward. Registration fees are final and non refundable. Registration includes entry, a plush bright towel, a finisher medal for all distances, access to the aid station, and post race snacks. Shirts and additional swag will be available for purchase on site. The race proceeds in rain, snow, or shine unless unsafe conditions such as lightning require delay or cancellation.
