Rump Run 2023
Bottom's Up!
presented by
RUMP RUN IS ☂️ RAIN OR ☀️ SHINE!
The Rump Run is a family-friendly timed 5K and 1-mile fun walk on a paved course through Enterprise South Nature Park.
Rump Run benefits the Greater Chattanooga Colon Cancer Foundation and is the primary source for our funds so we can continue to educate the community that colon cancer is preventable, treatable, and beatable.
We have a Kid's Zone with bounce houses, face painting, and other fun activities ready to keep the lil' ones entertained and the course is stroller friendly.
Race registration includes an event t-shirt.
Finisher medals are awarded to the top 3 male and female finishers in each age category. Additionally, Rump Run offers the infamous toilet trophy for Overall top male finisher, Overall top female finisher, Largest Pre-Registered Team, Top Individual Fundraiser, and Top Fundraising Team.
*Registration is non-refundable*

Sponsor or Get Involved
Support from our community partners is critical to making the Rump Run a success each year!
Event Sponsorship –As a sponsor, you will reach important market segments represented by the survivors and their teams, spectators, volunteers, runners and walkers – anticipated to be over 750 people - we sold out with more than 950 participants in 2022!. You will also be a part of the only local benefit race for colorectal cancer. Being a race sponsor is a great way to unify employees around a positive and worthy community event. Email Mindy@gcccf.org today for sponsorship information.
Form a Team- Participating in the race as a team not only brings co-workers together to participate in a great event, it is one of the biggest and best sources of financial support for the race. Some teams design their own t-shirts, come up with fun and inventive names and participate together - a great way to improve morale.
Volunteers – Volunteers are critical to the success of the race. More volunteers mean a better organized event on race day and a grass-roots approach for our message, which is often more meaningful.
