Chattanooga River Rats

The deadline to sign up for the race is TODAY, Tuesday, May 25th. If you have not signed up please go to chattanoogaswimfest.org. We were hoping to get 100 swimmers and we are at 70 swimmers.

We are also in need of volunteers especially for kayaking. You can go to the website chattanoogaswimfest.org and click on volunteering & boat support. We have boats and equipment if you need it.

Thank you!

The 14th Annual Chattanooga Rat Race is being held Sunday, June 6 at Chester Frost Park. COVID protocols will be in place.
If you have already signed up, thank you! If you have not, all the details and registration can be found at chattanoogaswimfest.org. The entry deadline is Tuesday, May 25.

The race is a 5K race around a rectangular course. For those who participated in 2018, this is the same course. We will seed the heats based on your 500 freestyle time.

This year's race is open to USA Swimming and USMS registered swimmers. Please forward this on to anyone you know who may be interested. Currently, there is plenty of room in the race.

Also, if you know of someone who would like to be volunteer boat support, please have them go to the Volunteer & Boat Support link at chattanoogaswimfest.com to sign up. We have 16 kayaks available, but feel free to bring your own kayak or SUP. We are also in need of one jet ski to help with water safety.

If you have any questions, please contact Stan Corcoran at [email protected].

Thank you and we hope to see you in June!
