About the Lucky 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Chattanooga
The race runs along the Tennessee Riverwalk, with the shorter distances going out and back once and the half marathon covering that same ground a couple of times. The course is flat throughout, which makes it a good morning for a fast effort regardless of which distance you picked. It has a shamrock theme, so expect green everywhere.
Packet pickup happens race morning at the start area, opening about an hour before the gun. There is no separate day-before option listed, though the organizers note they may add one closer to the event.

The Lucky 5K/10K/Half Marathon - Chattanooga has been held every year since at least 2025. That is as far back as RunSignup's records for this race go, so it may well be older.
