Erlanger Chattanooga Marathon Weekend

The Erlanger Chattanooga Marathon Weekend is one of the city's biggest running events, drawing thousands of runners from across the Southeast. The course takes you through some of Chattanooga's most scenic areas - along the riverfront, across bridges, and through downtown neighborhoods.

Even if you're not a marathon runner, the 5K is beginner-friendly and the kids fun run gives the little ones their own moment. The race weekend atmosphere is electric - live music at aid stations, cheering crowds lining the streets, and that post-race celebration feeling that makes the early morning alarm worth it.

Register early, as this event regularly fills up. If you're spectating, the best spots to watch are along the riverfront and near the finish line downtown.
