Green Eyes Gallop

🐔🧇 Chicken & Waffles Dash 5K

Get ready for the most delicious and ridiculous 5K you’ll ever run! Join us on June 13th, 2026 during the Chickamauga Chicken & Waffles Festival for a race that’s equal parts running, laughter, and breakfast-themed fun.

Runners are encouraged to dress the part and join our Chicken & Waffles Costume Challenge. Come dressed as your best chicken, waffle, syrup bottle, chef, or anything breakfast-inspired. The more creative (and slightly ridiculous), the better.

Costume awards include:

🏆 Best Chicken

🧇 Best Waffle

😂 Funniest Costume

👨‍👩‍👧 Best Group Costume

After you dash through the course and cross the finish line, the fun doesn’t stop there. Stick around and celebrate at the festival with amazing food vendors serving up chicken, waffles, and other delicious eats, plus a makers market full of talented local artisans and unique finds.

Whether you're racing for a PR, running for the waffles, or just showing up to see people dressed like breakfast foods… this race is guaranteed to be a good time.

Run now. Waffles later.

Chickamauga Dad’s Day Out Market

June 20, 2026

Grab your cape and bring Dad to the Super Dad Stride at the Chickamauga Dad’s Day Out Market! Choose the Super Dad Stride 5K or the Dad Joke Jog 1 Mile and celebrate the everyday heroes we call Dad.

Every runner gets a superhero cape, and the fun continues after the race with local vendors, great food, and family fun.

And remember…

Why did the dad bring a ladder to the race?

Because he heard the competition was on another level. 😎
