White Elephant 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Chattanooga
The event offers in-person and virtual running options hosted at Shelter #1, Tennessee Riverwalk, 4631 Amnicola Hwy, Chattanooga, TN 37406. Distances available include:
- 5K (in-person and virtual)
- 10K (in-person and virtual)
- Half marathon (in-person and virtual)
Participants choose a shirt size at registration but receive a surprise shirt and a finisher medal from a previous event wrapped in White Elephant style after the race. Virtual participants may run at a location of their choice, submit their time to the organizers, and receive a shirt or card by mail.
Awards are given to the top three male and female finishers in five-year age groups, beginning with 10 and under and continuing through older age groups. Registration for the listed events opens on July 24, 2026 and closes on July 31, 2026. The organizer lists separate in-person and virtual entries for the 5K, 10K, and half marathon, with differing registration fees by event.
The format combines a holiday-themed gift exchange element with standard race results and age-group awards, and it uses the Tennessee Riverwalk area for the in-person courses. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
