Jfest 5K
...benefiting Volunteers in Medicine
Come join us as for the Jfest 5k and Kiddie K which will be held at Chattanooga State on Saturday, AUGUST 1ST (postponed from May 9th due to COVID-19). The beautiful CERTIFIED course which runs along the TN River is flat and fast so you can achieve that 5K PR! Runners will get an awesome view of the TN River and the Jfest stage as they run along the TN Riverwalk. All 5K runners and walkers will receive a high quality custom finishers medal, t-shirt, and a ticket to J-Fest!
All proceeds from this race will be used to support the services offered by Volunteers in Medicine, a free health clinic for low-income, uninsured residents of Hamilton and surrounding counties.
Please note: T-shirts & sizes are guaranteed through July 15th only. After that it will be on a first come basis as t-shirts are available. Medals are guaranteed up to 500 registrants on race day. If more than 500 run, medals will be ordered for post-race distribution. Thank you for registering early to keep our costs low and revenues high to support VIM medical services in our community.
ONLINE REGISTRATION will close on Thursday, July 30th at noon EST! Walk up registration will still occur Friday/Saturday at packet pick-up. As we are a non-profit and this being our major fundraiser for the year, refunds are not being offered but we will defer your entry until next year.
