Recurring Half Marathon races near Chattanooga

Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

Dalton Red Carpet Half Marathon

The Dalton Red Carpet Half Marathon is a 13.1-mile race in Dalton, Georgia, scheduled for a Saturday in October. The public listing specifies the half marathon as the race category, with no shorter or full marathon distances indicated. The available race page offers limited course details, meaning there is no dependable route description, elevation information, field size, or history to provide. The listing notes the race date is an estimate and the event currently has no reviews on Raceentry.com.

Cleveland Half Marathon, 10k & 5k

The Cleveland Half Marathon, 10k & 5k is a fall road-race series in Cleveland, Tennessee, starting and finishing at First Street Square downtown. Runners can choose the USATF-certified half marathon, a 10k, or a 5k, and the event uses Chronotrack timing for official results. The route runs through historic downtown Cleveland, passes Lee University, and uses parts of the city’s Greenway system. Terra Running Company presents the race, and finishers receive a collectible medal modeled on an iconic Cleveland building; the longer-distance runners also get a technical quarter-zip, while 5k runners get a race shirt.

Lula Lake Trail Blazer

The Lula Lake Trail Blazer is a trail-running race series held on Lula Lake Land Trust property, spanning Lookout Mountain. Established in 2019, it provides 10K, half marathon, and 50K distances for participants seeking dirt paths, ascents, and marked singletrack over a road-race format. The routes incorporate Lula Lake trail systems connected to over 40 miles of trails constructed by the land trust, featuring the Moonshine trails, Cloudland Connector Trail, and Durham Mine Trails. Proceeds from entry fees support trail upkeep, new trail development, and the land trust’s conservation efforts. The event also includes food, beverages, live music, a Friday campout with a bonfire and headlamp warm-up run, and a 21-and-over beer mile consisting of four beers and four laps on a gravel-road circuit.

Chattanooga Hungry Turkey

The Chattanooga Hungry Turkey is a late-November race in Chattanooga, Tennessee, designed around the post-Thanksgiving concept of running off the holiday meal. It provides a half marathon, 10K, and 5K. The 5K is open to both runners and walkers. The race is centered at Coolidge Park, with the start and finish located on Tremont Street in front of the Chattanooga Theatre. Participants select from three distinct routes, featuring aid stations and restrooms approximately every 1.5 miles. The event accommodates families and adults seeking a longer run. Children 11 and under may participate in the 5K Kids Division Fun Run, receiving an untimed bib and a finisher medal. Post-race traditions are straightforward and food-focused, including a fresh donut and a long-sleeve technical shirt for registrants, along with a medal for all finishers.

Fiery Gizzard Run

The Fiery Gizzard Run guides participants along the Fiery Gizzard Trail, offering marathon and half marathon distances from Foster Falls State Park in Tennessee. This is a late-November trail race, not a road event, with a limited field typically between 100 and 500 runners. The start and finish lines are located at the Grundy Forest section of the trail. Half marathon runners complete the trail once, while marathon runners traverse it twice in an out-and-back configuration. The course follows park-maintained trails, featuring predominantly flat ridgeline sections interspersed with steep, technical descents into gorges. Runners will encounter waterfalls, rock formations, scenic overlooks, and significant elevation changes, with approximately 3,500 feet of climbing for the half marathon and 7,000 feet for the full marathon.

Snow Bull Trail Runs

Snow Bull Trail Runs are winter trail races held at Camp Chet in Whitwell, Tennessee. The races start at 9:00 a.m. CT and offer three formats: a 21K, a 6-hour race, and a 12-hour race. Rather than a single point-to-point course, runners complete a 6.6-mile loop run clockwise. This setup simplifies support, pacing, and returning to the base area between laps. The loop features a mix of singletrack and doubletrack trails, grass fields, mountain paths, and old mining and logging roads. Each lap gains approximately 1,600 feet, meaning the timed races accumulate significant elevation. The course is described as largely runnable with some moderately technical sections. Mad Cow Trek Club organizes the event. Camp Chet provides a full weekend experience: runners may preview the course Friday evening, rent cabins, tent sites, or onsite campers, and use these accommodations for changing, eating, and resting between laps. Post-race, showers and a communal fire area offer a straightforward place to clean up and socialize before retiring onsite.

Crazies Trifecta

The Crazies Trifecta requires runners to complete three half marathons on three consecutive days in DeKalb County, Alabama. The total distance for the series is 39.3 miles, with runs originating in Rainsville and other locations along the Tour of DeKalb County. A single entry fee covers all three days. The participant limit is 100, indicating a focused group rather than a large-scale event. The event maintains a simple format: there is no official timing, no water stations along the courses, and no prize money or door prizes. Runners receive the precise starting locations via email two weeks prior to the initial run. All participants who complete all three half marathons will receive custom merchandise. Registration also includes a free entry into the Rainsville Freedom Run. All funds raised benefit Rainsville Freedom Run charities, providing the series with a local, understated objective beyond the personal challenge.

About Half Marathon races in Chattanooga

Chattanooga Training Notes

Chattanooga hosts 14 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Chattanooga runners get easy miles on the 10-mile Riverwalk, the 5-mile South Chickamauga Greenway, and the Bluff View Art District loop. Locals use Main Street, Northshore, Blue Goose Hollow, and Camp Jordan when they want pavement without overthinking it. Chattanooga Track Club keeps Saturday runs going year-round from the Downtown YMCA at 6:30am. Scenic City Trail Runners meets Tuesday nights at 6pm, often from Ruby Falls. Fast Break Athletics covers easy runs, track nights, and the Church of the Long Run. Anchor races include Erlanger Chattanooga Marathon, Chattanooga Chase, Missionary Ridge Road Race, and Running Down Recidivism.

Chattanooga riders get road, gravel, and singletrack without leaving the city rhythm. Chattanooga Bicycle Club has been around nearly 60 years, so locals know where the base miles and group rides live. The trail hits 1 km, and it gets fun, rocky, and a little technical. St. The second route covers 2 km and gains 1,104 m. The third route runs 3 km with 1,620 m of climbing. Raccoon Mountain, Stringer's Ridge, Enterprise South Nature Park, and Five Points handle the singletrack. Cycle Sequatchie and Three-Mountain Challenge anchors fall riding.

Chattanooga rides well year-round, even if one day feels like July and the next February. Most days hit 2°C or higher. Locals still get it done with early Z2, shaded trail miles, and shorter intervals when the heat stacks up. Winter days usually stay mild, but most years bring at least one day when the high stays at or below freezing. 2 freezing-high days, and snowfall changes a lot year to year. Running clubs keep meeting, and riders keep the climbs in rotation.
