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.

Berry Half/10K/5K

The Berry Half/10K/5K takes place in early March on Berry College’s 27,000-acre campus in Rome, Georgia. Participants can select a half marathon, 10K, 5K, or Kids Fun Run, making the event suitable for seasoned runners, families, and newcomers. The campus itself is a key attraction: Berry is noted as the world’s largest campus, featuring extensive woodlands, historic academic structures, open fields, and over 1,200 deer. The race routes are contained within Berry College, beginning and ending at the Mount Berry campus along Martha Berry Highway. This race series serves as the main fundraising effort for Berry College Elementary & Middle School, supporting facility and technology improvements, curriculum development, and scholarships. This school affiliation is evident on race day through the numerous volunteers assisting with packet preparation, runner registration, aid stations, course monitoring, traffic direction, refreshment provision, and medal distribution. The event has been held for almost twenty years, recording over 22,500 finishers and more than 107,000 race miles accumulated throughout its history.

About Half Marathon races in Dalton

Dalton Base Miles And Mountain Grit

Dalton hosts 13 Half Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Dalton runners get an easy split between town laps and mountain dirt. The town has a 4 mile paved walking track for shakeouts and beginner intervals. Lakeshore Park gives you a walking track and a rubber track when legs need flat ground. The paved walking track runs 6 miles long. A 5 mile spur trail connects to the main route. Pinhoti Trail has the rugged stuff west and north of town. Lance's Legacy 5k and Fun Run and Dalton Red Carpet Half Marathon anchor the local road calendar. Kiwanis Club of Walker keeps Miles for Smiles on the nearby race list.

Dalton riders point first to Raisin Woods Mountain Bike Park when somebody asks for dirt. Raisin Woods Mountain Bike Park gives riders five miles of wilderness trail and seven separate mountain biking loops, so it works for skills, Z2, and hard laps. Potato Hill Park brings the singletrack switchbacks, and those nasty gravelled switchbacks can toss strong riders. Mt. Mt. Oglethorpe has a 6 mile hiking and biking trail near town. 82%. Pinhoti Trail brings the real climbs north and west toward the Blue Ridge foothills.

Dalton training feels best when the air backs off and the mountains stay usable. September matters because The Georgia Jewel puts the Pinhoti Trail on the endurance calendar. Summer gives locals hot, humid base miles, early starts, shaded singletrack, and plenty of sweat at races like Meat Sweats Sizzler Run. Red Clay Resort and Haig Mill Lake make recovery days feel close to home. Winter stays mild to cool, so runners keep track work alive and cyclists keep riding Raisin Woods when the woods are firm. The city sits across USDA Hardiness Zones 7B and 8A, and winter only rarely shuts down a normal week.
