Holiday Hustle 5Kish and 10Kish : Chattanooga
Holiday Hustle is a trail race event on December 13, 2026 in the Black Creek subdivision on Mt. Aetna near Chattanooga, TN. The event is organized by Evergreen Property Group and Bad Beard Events and benefits the Tennessee River Gorge Trust. Runners use new trails on Aetna Mountain that form a blue/green loop.
The course layout:
- 5Kish : about 3.7 miles, one loop
- 10Kish : about 7.2 miles, two same-direction loops
Each loop gains roughly 600 feet of elevation. There is one full aid station with water and snacks at the main Aeta Trailhead. The start and finish area is in a large open field with covered pavilions, picnic tables, grills, a playground, a dog park, and a basketball court. Dogs are allowed at the venue but may not run the race.
All ability levels may walk or hike the course instead of running. Every participant receives seasonal race swag and pancakes after the event. The description omits specific start and packet pickup times. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
