Course Description

The Rock/Creek Hare Raiser 5K & 1 Mile Fun Run presented by The North Face is sure to become a Southeastern classic! This event is an update of last year's Brow Beater 3 & 7Mile, and utilizes the beautiful trail system within the 317-acre property of Chattanooga's own Reflection Riding Arboretum and Nature Center.

The Hare Raiser trail race is part of the 2nd annual Chattanooga Earth Day Festival which will include live music, guided hikes, guided paddling trips, shoe and outdoor gear demos, food, beer, evening films and much more!

This event also coincides with the long-standing Native Plant Sale that draws thousands each year. Come run the fantastic trails and then spend the day with us at Chattanooga's Earth Day Festival! You can find more info on the festival at reflectionriding.org/earth
