About the Burn Your Half Off, An Awesomesauce Event
This is a summer race along Chattanooga's Riverpark, which means heat is the real course condition. The route brings you back through the start and finish area several times, so you can drop a bag, shed a layer, grab sunscreen, or just take stock before heading back out. Several distance options are available, and walkers are as welcome as runners.
The aid stations are a genuine production: ice, sports drink, water, salty snacks, fruit, banana smoothies, sunscreen, and anti-chafe supplies are all on hand. The finish area has post-race snacks. Parking is limited, so arriving early is worth it. The last person to finish earns a special award rather than any kind of censure.
