The 4-mile course is USATF certified and chip-timed. Awards for the 4-mile include cash prizes for top overall finishers and masters categories, age group awards for multiple age bands, and a crowd-voted best costume prize. The Kiddie-K offers first and second place awards for boys and girls.
Packet pickup and on-site registration are available at Fitness Central, including a day-before pickup option. T-shirt availability is limited by size; registrants may opt out of a shirt, exchange sizes post-race if shirts remain, and unclaimed shirts will not be held after race day. Leftover shirts will be donated to non-profits.
Proceeds support the Chattanooga Track Club youth and adult running and fitness programs. The event follows a no refund policy, with the possibility to defer an entry to the next year by contacting the race director. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
