Rabid Raccoon 25k

The Rabid Raccoon 25k, organized by Bad Beard Events, is an exciting middle-distance race set in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The course begins at Laurel Point on Raccoon Mountain and features a variety of trails, including Megawatt and Grindstone Ridge. Each year, the race alternates directions, with the 2025 event following a clockwise route.

Participants can expect a challenging yet scenic experience, with all finishers receiving a campfire mug. The event also includes aid stations, post-race food, and awards for top finishers. A portion of the proceeds benefits the Southern Off Road Biking Association, promoting trail preservation and access. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
