Racer Information
Race start time: 50 Mile starts at 9:00 a.m., the 25 mile at 9:15 a.m. at the entrance to the Lula Lake Land Trust.
Check-in waiver and Packet Pickup: There is a mandatory check-in at the Lula Lake Land Trust on Friday from 5 p.m. - 8 p.m. or on Saturday from 6 a.m. -8:30 a.m.
If you are absolutely unable to make check-in, you MUST:
Print off this waiver, sign it, AND give it to a friend to deliver to us during check in. Make sure you send your drop bags, as there is no way to deliver them to the Aid Stations on race day.
Your friend MUST pick up your race packet with your race number in it and get it to you before the race starts! If you do not have someone deliver the waiver and/or fail to get your number from your friend, you will not be able to race.
Pre-race meeting: The pre-race meeting will be held at the start line at 8:45 for the 50 Mile race and 9:05 for the 25 Mile race.

Drop bags and pickup: The 50 Mile course includes 4 aid stations, the 25 Mile course includes 2 aid stations. Our Aid Stations are well stocked with hand off water bottles, fresh water and snacks, and be sure to carry with you the hydration and nutrition you require according to your training and health needs. Bags must be dropped by 8 a.m. on Saturday morning. Each racer is allowed two (2) one gallon drop bags that we'll provide. Drop bags can be picked up after the race next to the tent.
Lodging
Free primitive camping (toilets on site) will be provided at Lula Lake Land Trust on a first-come first-serve basis, and space is limited. This is where the race starts and finishes.
When you arrive on Friday you must check with staff at the Land Trust at check-in so they can guide you to the areas that are designated for camping. Tents and Camping vans are okay but anything larger will not fit these areas. So if you have a travel trailer or large RV, you need to check with area campgrounds around Chattanooga. Due to the dry weather recently the Land Trust has advised no fires while camping.
There is also camping at Cloudland Canyon State Park or hotel lodging at The Westin Chattanooga. For additional Lookout Mountain lodging click here.
