Chattajack

Chattajack is a 31-mile paddleboard and kayak race on the Tennessee River, held in late October in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It is designed for distance paddlers, focusing on sustained effort over a long river stretch rather than a short buoy course. The route follows the Tennessee River Gorge from Chattanooga to Hales Bar Dam. Stand-up paddleboarders and kayakers compete on the same course, attracting individuals seeking a demanding water endurance test. Now in its fourteenth edition, the race has established itself as a significant event.
