In the half marathon, runners will cross four of the seven bridges in the race’s title Seven Bridges Marathon, all of which span the Tennessee River and feature stretches that take runners past the famed Tennessee Aquarium, along the city’s Riverwalk trail and past Finley Stadium, the home of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team, the Mocs. Runners in the half marathon follow the full marathon route for about the first 8 miles, and then turn around to retrace most of their steps toward the finish line back at Coolidge Park.
