DESCRIPTION

Join Evergreen Property Group and Bad Beard Events for the inaugural Holiday Hustle Trail Race in the picturesque Black Creek subdivision supporting the Tennessee River Gorge Trust! Experience the thrill of the brand-new trails on Aetna Mountain with race options for everyone: a challenging 10K, a swift 5K, and a fun run for kids. Set against the stunning backdrop of Mt. Aetna, this event offers the perfect way to get outside and enjoy the beauty of nature just before Christmas. Mark your calendars for December 22, 2024, and celebrate the holiday season with family, friends, and fellow trail enthusiasts.

Every runner will receive fun Christmas swag and pancakes after the race. ALL ability levels are welcome, and YES, you can hike the course if you do not want to run it.

The 5k-ish is a single blue/green loop and the 10k-ish is two same-direction loops. There will be one full aid station with Tailwind, water, and snacks at the main Aeta Trailhead and a water-only station at the bottom of the loop.

The start/finish has a large open field, covered pavilions with picnic tables and grills, a playground, a dog park, and a basketball court. So, be sure to bring the entire family, including the pups, for a day of fun, even if you're not running!

Packet Pickup will be from 7:30-8:45am and both races will begin at 9.
Race distances are around 3.7 for the 5K and 7.4 for the 10K. The 5K runs one loop and the 10K runs two loops. Each loop has around 600ft of gain (you climb up and run down)

Use these coordinates to the start/finish- 35.0181740,-85.4061561
You can also use this address and follow signage all the way past the club to the back of the subdivision.
400 Alpine Way, Chattanooga TN
