About this race
Event Overview
What's better than running by yourself? Putting on a costume and running (or walking!) with a bunch of crazy fun people, that's what! Celebrate Halloween with us, running, walking, prancing, parading along the beautiful Tennessee River, with a bunch of the funnest people you’ve ever met, and of course, tons of candy!
Course Details
- Terrain: The course is basically completely flat, on a paved path that meanders by the Chickamauga Dam, behind the campus of Chattanooga State, and alongside the Tennessee River.
- Facilities: We have toilets that flush and sinks with running water and soap. Because fighting with your costume in a port-o-potty sounds like a recipe for disaster.
Additional Support
- Start/Finish Area: You will pass the start/finish/aid station area multiple times throughout the race.
- Drop Bag: 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.
- Self-Care: This is also a good place to reapply sunscreen, address any potential issues such as blisters, etc.
Race Atmosphere
- Non-competitive: The race is super low-key and non-competitive: we’d prefer to race you vs. you, not you vs. anyone else.
- Time Limit: There is a 4 hour time limit for all distances. Walkers are welcome!
Registration Benefits
- Inclusions: Your registration fee includes entry into the race distance of your choosing, race swag, finisher medal for all distances, and our usual aid station setup.
- Post-race Food: We promise we will keep you full of all the candy you need to pre-game for the big night!
Important Information
- Fees: 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. Prices are subject to change.
- Weather: The races will go on rain, snow, or shine.
Costumes & Family Friendly
- Encouragement: Costumes are encouraged, but not mandatory. Please keep your costume kid-friendly!
- Training Tips: We recommend doing a training run or two in your costume.
- First Aid: We’re happy to assist with first aid for chafing, but it’s a lot easier if you are ready for it, instead of discovering it a couple of miles in!
- Strollers: Strollers are welcome, just be responsible in your use of your stroller!
