Holiday Hustle - Chattanooga

Holiday Hustle is a trail running event in the Black Creek subdivision on Aetna Mountain near Chattanooga, organized by Evergreen Property Group and Bad Beard Events. The event benefits the Tennessee River Gorge Trust and uses new trails on Mt. Aetna.

The course layout uses a marked blue/green loop. The 5Kish is a single loop and the 10Kish is two same-direction loops. Each loop has about 600 ft of elevation gain. One full aid station will provide water and snacks at the main Aeta Trailhead.

The start/finish area is a large open field with covered pavilions, picnic tables and grills, a playground, a dog park, and a basketball court. Dogs are allowed at the site but are not permitted to run the race. Post-race items include Christmas-themed swag and pancakes for participants. Participants may hike the course rather than run.

Location details provided by the organizer include an address and coordinates: 400 Alpine Way, Chattanooga, TN; coordinates 35.0181740, -85.4061561.
