About the race
The Cannonball Run is a Last Man Standing trail race held in Chattanooga, Tennessee, on September 18, 2027. The event is organized by Aravaipa Running and hosted by Bad Beard and Fleet Feet. It starts and finishes at the Spears Ave Trailhead of the Stringers Ridge Trails, 1312 Stringers Ave, Chattanooga, TN 37405.
The course is a single loop of 4.3 miles that is run every hour on the hour. Each hour participants who remain line up and run the loop again; the event continues until only one runner remains. Runners may finish a loop early and use any remaining time before the next start.
Packet pickup is available the day before at Fleet Feet Chattanooga and on the morning of the race at the start/finish area. The city does not allow setup on the Friday night before the event. Registration opens on December 1, 2026.
Additional runner details, maps, and logistic notes are provided by the organizers. The format emphasizes repeated loops and progressive elimination rather than a set distance or finish time. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
