Course & Travel Notes

In mid-January, Chattanooga typically sees highs around 51°F and lows near 32°F, with rain occurring on about a third of days, so plan for cool conditions and bring layers along with rain gear just in case. The race starts at 8:00 AM, just 12 minutes after sunrise, so a headlamp or reflective gear may be helpful for the first part of the race. The venue sits at 669 feet elevation, which is relatively modest. Chattanooga Metropolitan Airport (Lovell Field) is conveniently located just 4.9 miles from the race venue.
