Calendar of Events

The Erlanger Chattanooga Marathon is a not-for-profit locally owned and operated race weekend that consists of a marathon, half marathon, team relay, 5k and kid’s fun run. The race was established in 2016 when our founding partners came together with the mindset of creating a professional event that would have a positive impact and benefit the local community.

The Erlanger Chattanooga Marathon Race Weekend has seven key initiatives integrated into our planning process. These initiatives represent the qualities and characteristics of why we host this event for the Chattanooga region:

• Manage a professionally operated event
• Engage participation of local residents
• Provide a community health and wellness opportunity
• Impact sports tourism
• Showcase our outdoor destination
• Animate our music scene
• Engage the corporate community

Through the combined efforts of our community partners, volunteers, spectators and racers we have been able to create a vibrant “Race Weekend” full of energy and excitement! Our Marathon Planning Committee is committed to add value to the Erlanger Marathon Race Weekend annually in order to maximize the weekend experience within our Chattanooga region. Please join us and experience 2020!

Riverside Spring Meet is a unique automotive event held every Spring in downtown Chattanooga, TN. Our show is not a competition, but rather a place where enthusiasts are able to come together and enjoy the best vehicles from all over the Southeast, along with first class vendors and local food trucks.

League Home Opener!

Join us at SipTN Chattanooga as we showcase Tennessee wine at its finest. Taste through over 200 wines produced right here in Tennessee, utilizing some of the freshest fruit in the South.  The festival is planned to be a day of fun, stroll around, shop with artisans and vendors, enjoy delicious food and sip wine and hard cider all from local sources. Even the proceeds from the event stay local, benefitting Tennessee Agriculture and Small Businesses.

An essential part of Chattanooga’s creative capital, 4 Bridges Arts Festival (4BAF) cultivates and inspires an appreciation for the visual arts by creating opportunities for exchange between working artists and the public. Dates for the 2020 4BAF are Friday, April 17-Sunday, April 19.

Highly-anticipated and culturally-prominent, 4BAF is a juried art show that receives applications from visual artists from across the country. The festival will showcase the distinctive talents of 150 artists and offer $10,800 in cash awards to artists selected by the 2019 jury panel.

Established in 2000 by Association for Visual Arts (AVA), 4 Bridges Arts Festival is an initiative dedicated to promoting the visual arts through programming that cultivates an appreciation for the creative process and advances opportunities for working artists.

Our 20th Season!

This family-friendly fundraiser will be held in the spacious, open-air First Horizon Pavilion from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m. Enjoy the festivities with friends while your children take advantage of the numerous activities for kids. All ages are encouraged to attend, and, of course, grandparents and adults without children are also welcome.

The legendary Running of the Chihuahuas from Hits 96!
12 years of racing Chihuahuas! Copied by people in Washington DC, Phoenix, Pensacola and all over the country (you’re welcome by the way) – the ORIGINAL is right here in Chattanooga.

It started as a dumb idea we created in our parking lot with 12 dogs. We raced until we found a winner while luckily not having any little ones run into Broad Street. 12 years later we will have over 150 racing chihuahuas and over 7 thousand Chattanoogans.

Over the years we have been proud to welcome artists like Hot Chelle Rae, AJR, Rachel Platten, Aaron Carter and dozens more!
