Last year's thread on this race A good trail run for those looking for something different. The Wauhatchie Trail Run is a hilly 6.7 miles of gravel/dirt roads and rough trails on the lower slopes of Lookout Mountain (Chattanooga, TN). The elevation change between low point (the start/finish) and high point of the course is 410 feet. www.chattanoogatrackclub.org/calendar.cfm?contentID=eventDetail&recid=166The most interesting thing about this event is the age / sex handicapped start. 25-29 YO Males are considered the fastest group and start at time “zero.” All other groups receive a head start. For example, a 51 YO female gets a 13:15 head start. Gender | Group | Head start | F | 12-14 | 9:45 | F | 15-19 | 6:15 | F | 20-24 | 5:30 | F | 25-29 | 5:15 | F | 30-34 | 6:00 | F | 35-39 | 8:15 | F | 40-44 | 9:00 | F | 45-49 | 11:45 | F | 50-54 | 13:15 | F | 55-59 | 17:00 | F | 60-64 | 18:30 | F | 65-69 | 27:45 | F | 70+ | 32:45 | M | 12-14 | 6:30 | M | 15-19 | 2:00 | M | 20-24 | 0:15 | M | 25-29 | 0:00 | M | 30-34 | 0:30 | M | 35-39 | 0:45 | M | 40-44 | 2:45 | M | 45-49 | 4:00 | M | 50-54 | 5:30 | M | 55-59 | 7:30 | M | 60-64 | 9:15 | M | 65-69 | 12:15 | M | 70+ | 16:00 |
I recommend this event. Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this year.

I got a little lost the first time I went there. The address is: 398 Garden Rd, Chattanooga, Tennessee 37419 (Actually 400, but google doesn't "believe".) A good option if you're not going to SC on the 15th. (Un)fortunately I'll be unable to attend... (I'll be trying to get to an afternoon run that starts 2 hours earlier!) ;D
