The Cannonball Run
The Cannonball Run is a Last Man Standing running event held in Chattanooga, TN at 1312 Stringers Ave. The event is organized by Bad Beard together with Fleet Feet and uses a repeated-loop format on a measured course.
Participants run a 4.3-mile loop and must complete each loop within a fixed time limit of one hour. Runners who finish a loop within the time limit may start the next loop; runners who miss the cutoff or do not start the next lap are removed from the field. The sequence repeats at the end of each interval until only one runner remains.
Finish times within the allowed hour create different recovery windows between laps. A runner who completes a loop in about 30 minutes will have roughly 30 minutes to rest before the next interval, while a 50-minute loop leaves roughly 10 minutes to refuel and reset. The event format places emphasis on pacing, repeated efforts, and managing recovery between successive loops. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
