The Rabid Raccoon is a middle-distance trail race in Chattanooga, Tennessee, hosted by Bad Beard Events. The course begins at Laurel Point on Raccoon Mountain and runs along the north and west sides of the mountain. Trails on the route include Megawatt, Grindstone Ridge, Lower Chunky, Live Wire 1 and 2, High Voltage, and Split Rock. In 2027 the race direction will be clockwise.
The event features a single 25K distance. All runners receive a shirt, a finisher prize, and post-race food. Awards are given to the first, second, and third overall finishers in both female and male divisions.
This is a cupless race; participants must bring their own hydration pack or hand-held bottle. There are two aid stations offering water, Gatorade, and common trail snacks such as granola bars, gels, and gummies. Medical coverage is provided by Chattanooga Hamilton County Rescue Service, which operates on a donation basis.
Packet pickup is available the day before at Hello Monty on Main Street and on race day at the start/finish area. Runners have five hours to complete the course. Dogs are not permitted on the course. A portion of race proceeds benefits SORBA Chattanooga to support trail access and preservation. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
