Running

The rolling hills and high plateaus that surround Chattanooga offer miles and miles of running routes, from greenways to rugged singletrack trails. Host to marathons, triathlons, world-class trail races and over one hundred 5K and family running events every year, the Chattanooga region loves runners.

The city’s downtown bridges, the Tennessee Riverpark and Stringers Ridge offer beautiful places to run, easily accessed from the downtown area. The Tennessee River valley’s surrounding mountains hold over 150 miles of singletrack trails, ready to challenge the most ardent trail runner.
