Dr. Smiles and I traveled up to Scenic City and participated in the Chattanooga Track Club’s Half Marathon and 5K. She ran the 5k and I ran the half marathon. The conditions were cold, wet, and hilly. The first half of the marathon was flat and rather ugly – industrial parks, highways, and housing projects, while the last half was beautiful because you got to ran along the Chattanooga River and surrounding swamplands. This was definitely a low key and local event whereas our first marathon – the San Diego Rock & Roll – was more of an event destination. I’m happy to report that both Dr. Smiles and I are still upright with no major injuries. Click HERE to learn more about the Scenic City Half Marathon and 5k.
If you’re planning a trip to the Scenic City, then I encourage you to spend the night at the Chattanoogan Hotel. It’s beautiful and the staff is professional and helpful. Click HERE to visit their website.
