Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon
The Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon series is a set of road races held on and around the Chickamauga Battlefield National Park, about 20 minutes from Chattanooga. The series has been hosted by the Chattanooga Track Club since 1980 and takes place in a historic, roughly 9,000-acre park setting.
Races offered in the series include:
- Marathon
- Half Marathon with a six hour time limit
- 5K on a fast, flat course
- Junior Marathon with miles accumulated over months
The event features marked courses, multiple aid stations stocked with water, Powerade, fruit, and first aid, and volunteer support from the start to the finish. Some editions of the event include Civil War enactments and a cannon start. First-time finishers in the half marathon receive a framed certificate at the finish. Results, training plans, an athlete guide, and race day information are provided for participants by the organizing team. The series notes a history of many finishers and course awards, and it records participation statistics across its years of operation.
