About this race
3rd Annual Freedom Run and Walk
Join us for a half marathon to show our unity as we celebrate Juneteenth and honor Mrs. Opal Lee, the “grandmother of Juneteenth” who campaigned for decades to make Juneteenth the federal holiday that it is today. Lindsay Bisset said it best, “Freedom is a journey we take together as a country, and this race is a reminder of our commitment together”. Juneteenth is a holiday for all Americans and this run is a great way to show our unity.
All 3 distances (and the Mrs. Opal Lee Walk) are “out and back” courses starting at the Pavilion #2 near Chattanooga State Community College.
Medals for all finishers. Overall and Age Group awards -- Age Groups: 19 and under, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69 & 70+ (Subject to change pending attendance).
What to expect
Written from race dataThe Freedom Run and Walk Half Marathon, scheduled for June 15, 2024, in Chattanooga, TN (37406), offers participants a scenic half-marathon experience. While specific historical details for this particular iteration are not provided, it's an established event type (coded as "6") often associated with celebrating community and fitness. Runners and walkers can anticipate a well-organized race with clear course markings and support stations. The Chattanooga location suggests a route that is likely to feature picturesque views, potentially incorporating the city's natural beauty or urban landmarks. Participants should prepare for a mixed terrain, as Chattanooga offers both relatively flat sections along the riverfront and rolling hills within the city and surrounding areas. The weather in mid-June can be warm and humid, so proper hydration and preparation for these conditions are advisable. This event typically draws a diverse field, from seasoned runners aiming for personal bests to recreational participants enjoying the walk and the patriotic spirit of the "Freedom Run."
