Not interested in a group run or hike? No worries! Chattanooga is known for its extensive network of trails. Not sure where to run? Again, not an issue—head over to RootsRated to find the best trail for the amount of time you have and the level of difficulty you’re interested in tackling. Don’t forget to let someone know you’re heading out on a run.

Running is a great way to stay in shape and enjoy the outdoors, and while the temperatures are cooling a bit, there are always challenges to consider. Make sure you prepare for your runs with water to hydrate, clothing to protect from the sun, and sufficient bug protection. We’ll see you on the trails!
