Organiser's Description

Join us to help benefit tracheostomy families in the southeast Tennessee region. The funds raised from this race will allow us the ability to pour into local trach and vent dependent families. Come out to run and walk for fun, beat your personal best in a 5K, or join our families and children for a fun mile. Your entry will include a t-shirt, post race gift and snacks.

NEW this year is a KIDS ZONE!! Here we will have face painting, sensory games, bubbles, inflatable, and crafts for $10. If you are an adult racing, kid zone is only $5 for your child. If you are a kiddo racing, kid zone is free!

Chattanooga Tracheostomy families is a support group (which became a non-profit this year thanks to YOU!) that cares for families of children with tracheostomies in the Chattanooga area. We do this in a variety of ways: through hospital support, education, community engagement, and advocacy. Trach/Vent life is so very life altering, so our group is here to support a family as they transition to this life and join a community of children thriving in life with their traits. We have 50 members in this community and are growing!
