The Cannonball Run : Chattanooga, TN

The Cannonball Run is a Last Man Standing running event held at 1312 Stringers Ave in Chattanooga, TN. The race uses a repeated loop of 4.3 miles. Each circuit must be completed within one hour to remain in the field. Laps repeat on the hour until only one runner remains.

Runners who complete the loop well under the hour have time between laps to rest and refuel. For example, finishing the loop in 30 minutes leaves the runner with the remainder of the hour off before the next circuit; finishing in 50 minutes leaves about ten minutes to recover. Any runner who misses the cutoff or who does not start the next lap is removed from the competition.

The event is presented by Bad Beard and Fleet Feet and includes published runner details for participants. The format emphasizes repeated timed loops rather than a fixed finish distance. The site listing includes a map for the venue and links to entrant information and event materials. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
