Caffeine Run

Get ready to fuel your run with the Caffeine Run, taking place on February 22, 2026, in scenic Chattanooga, TN. This unique event, a collaboration between Be Caffeinated and Run Rhino, offers a perfect blend of exercise and everyone's favorite pick-me-up. Runners can choose from 5K, 10K, or even a Half Marathon distance, with a 1.5-mile walk option also available for those who prefer a more leisurely start to their day.

The course promises a refreshing experience, winding along the beautiful Chattanooga Riverwalk and incorporating portions of the South Chickamauga Creek Greenway. While not entirely flat, the out-and-back route is described as generally easy, making it accessible for a variety of fitness levels. You'll enjoy picturesque river views as you push towards the finish line, located conveniently near the Hubert Fry Center River Park, where ample parking is available. Typical race day conditions in late February in Chattanooga feature comfortable highs around 57F and lows of 38F, with a modest 19% chance of precipitation, creating ideal running weather.

What truly sets the Caffeine Run apart is its dedication to coffee lovers. Participants are rewarded with a branded, ceramic finisher's mug, a fresh cup of coffee, and delicious baked goodies upon completing their race. Spectators and runners alike can enjoy hot chocolate at the start/finish area, fostering a warm and energetic atmosphere. A portion of the proceeds also benefits the local "Be the Change Youth Initiative", adding a charitable aspect to this charming community event.
