Nature Calls Trail Race

Chattanooga Valley, United States • 21 Jun 2026

Race Information

The Nature Calls Trail Race takes place at Lula Lake Land Trust near Chattanooga, Tennessee. It offers two distances: a 5K and a 15K trail run. The event is described as a low-key, low-cost social race without awards.

The Courses

Both courses are run on trails. The 5K route is noted as being relatively easy for the area. The longer 15K course presents more challenges, including sections on the High Adventure trail. This involves a rope section and a difficult trail leading down to Lula Falls.

Event Details

The race is open to runners and hikers. Hikers must maintain a minimum pace of a 16-minute mile. The cutoff time for the 5K is 50 minutes, and for the 15K, it is 3 hours.
