VR Pro Canada Day Races

The Whiskey Run is the perfect race for seasoned runners or amateur enthusiasts looking for a run that doesn’t skimp on the fun. Expect great Half marathon, 5K, and 10K routes followed by local food pairings, whiskey samples, and music. In its fourth year, the run includes venues all across the American southeast, with races scheduled in Atlanta, Nashville, Huntsville, Rome, GA and Knoxville.

The run is produced by Run Rhino. A Chattanooga-based company known for putting on unique races and events, including 7 Bridges Marathon, Scenic City Mud Run, the Caffeine Run, the World Run, and the Southeastern Santa Hustle Race Series.

Event includes:

• Bib with attached chip for timing

• Demo shoes on site to try for your event

• Draw prizes for all participants courtesy of Mizuno

• Post race refreshments for all participants
