Race Information:

• The Scenic City Half Marathon will be run on Saturday, February 27th, 2010 next year. It will be the first major event of the year for the Chattanooga running community and promises to be even better than last year.

• Last year the races had over 700 participants and both the half marathon and 5K sold out prior to race day. With our low entry fees (no change for the last 2 years), great course and start/finish venue, and a very popular charity benefit, we expect a great turnout again this year. So come enjoy a “big time” race with that “small town” atmosphere. But register early to avoid an early closing of the races.

• Again this year, the event will benefit 8 local charities with our Charity Challenge. Last year over $21,000 was raised for these Chattanooga Charities. All 8 charities from last year’s event will return. They will be:
• Area 4 Special Olympics
• Bethlehem Center
• Chattanooga Room in the Inn
• Children’s Advocacy
• Children’s Home/Chambliss Shelter
• McKamey Animal Care and Adoption Center
• Partnership for Families, Children, and Adults
• Tennessee Aquarium

Volunteers from the charities make up half of the race volunteers. They will assist in registration, packet pickup, water stop and aid stations, and many more duties. They are a major part of our event and we hope you will support them. More information on our charities and the Charity Challenge can be found on the Charity Challenge page.
