Erlanger Chattanooga Marathon

Erlanger Chattanooga Marathon is a signature road race held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA, offering runners a chance to experience one of the Southeast’s most scenic and outdoor-oriented cities on foot. Best known as a full race weekend rather than a standalone marathon, the event combines marathon, half marathon, 10K, 5K, and family-friendly programming into a downtown festival atmosphere centered around Chattanooga’s riverfront and city core. The race has built its identity around the city’s natural beauty and active lifestyle brand, with official event materials emphasizing Chattanooga as a premier outdoor destination and visitor materials describing the marathon weekend as a major annual draw for runners and spectators. With race activities based around the First Horizon Pavilion and routes that pass through central Chattanooga, the event blends competitive running with a welcoming community feel and a destination-race experience.
