From the Race Organizer
It's Chattanooga's original July Riverpark race, more than 10 years running! Available distances are 5K, 10K, and half marathon. NOBODY does an aid station like us! Unlimited ice, Gatorade, water, salty snacks, sugary snacks, fruit (bananas, oranges, and watermelon), we even do banana smoothies! We also bring sunscreen, Vaseline (the sweat chafe is REAL, is it not) and other stuff, because we want to make sure you're going to cross the finish line, and we want to make sure you do it safely. Other important stuff: - Due to limited parking and space, prices will increase as the race fills up. - There are toilets that flush and sinks with running water and soap. Bougie! - This is a running and walking event that is MUCH more about camaraderie and fun, not competition. Everyone gets a finisher skull medal, but the only "award" is the coveted Sloth Society medal that goes to the person who completes the race last. You will come back to the start/finish/super aid station area multiple times throughout the race. This means you're welcome to leave a drop bag to access your own personal goodies and you can shed layers as you warm up. This is also a good place to reapply sunscreen, address any potential issues such as blisters, etc. Our races are super low-key and non-competitive; we'd prefer to race you vs. you, not you vs. anyone else. There is a 4 hour time limit for all distances. (If you're close to finishing past the time limit, we'll stick around to make sure you get a finish time and a medal - we're not in the business of taking your hard work away from you, nor do we want you to feel rushed in the heat - but we do have to be checked out of the pavilion.) Your registration fee includes entry into the race distance of your choosing, race swag in the form of a beach/pool/lake/shower/we don't actually care what you use it for towel, finisher medal for all distances, and our epic aid station, along with post-race snacks. A shirt is NOT our standard swag. We give you a plush, bright towel, because we don't do ANYTHING in a conventional manner. We will have shirts, tank tops, and other swag available for purchase on site. As with any other race put on by any other company, registration fees and add-on fees are final and are not refundable or transferable for any reason. The waiver that you agree to as part of your registration indicates your acceptance of this policy, which is standard in the industry. The races will go on rain, snow (ha!), or shine. We will delay or cancel due to lightning or any other unsafe conditions.
