On November 8, 2025, runners will gather at the Chickamauga & Chattanooga National Military Park for a race steeped in history and natural beauty. Organized by the Chattanooga Track Club, the event includes a full marathon, half marathon, 5K, and Junior Marathon, all starting to the ceremonial blast of a cannon. The marathon and half marathon share the first 12 miles before splitting, with both routes offering rolling, paved terrain, well-stocked aid stations, and Boston-qualifying certification for marathon participants. Along the way, runners pass historic monuments, cannons, and expansive autumn landscapes. The combination of smooth organization, welcoming atmosphere, and rich setting makes it one of the Southeast’s most beloved fall races.
