About the Run Like Mike
Run Like Mike is a birthday race held at Coolidge Park in Chattanooga. The course is a straightforward run through the park, and the whole morning is built around one person's milestone birthday, which gives it the energy of a party that happens to involve running shoes. Both runners and walkers are welcome, and the vibe skews more backyard gathering than race-day serious.
Everything happens on-site, so there is no separate trip the day before for packet pickup. Afterward, drinks and snacks are out at the finish, and the group moves to a nearby brewery called Oddstory to keep celebrating. It is a short morning with a social second act.
