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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
