Spookasaurus (formerly Kooky Not Spooky) Race
Participants run or walk along a flat paved path meandering by the Chickamauga Dam, behind Chattanooga State, and alongside the Tennessee River. The event features a low-key, non-competitive atmosphere with finisher medals, race swag, and aid stations loaded with candy, snacks, and drinks. Runners and walkers repeatedly pass the main area, allowing easy access to personal drop bags and layers.
