The Experience
Chattanooga's Tennessee Riverwalk sets the stage for the second annual Not Just A Mom Run—a half marathon that feels more like a reunion than a race. The course follows the winding Tennessee River, with the city's bridge-lined skyline peeking through the trees. It's a flat, fast route on paved paths, perfect for first-timers or anyone chasing a spring PR.
The atmosphere is intimate and electric with purpose. Runners pin dedications on their bibs—"I Run For..."—honoring mothers, friends, or themselves. Music drifts from aid stations, and families gather near the finish line. This isn't a mass-start wave; it's a shared declaration that motherhood and womanhood deserve celebration.
At the finish, every participant is entered to win a professional photoshoot—a tangible reminder of the strength they carry. With distances from 1 mile to the half marathon, the event welcomes all paces. It's a small, heartfelt race that proves you are more than a title.
Race-provided description
The Not Just A Mom Race is more than a run—it's a celebration of strength, resilience, and the incredible journey of motherhood and womanhood. Whether you're a mother, running in honor of a mother, supporting postpartum awareness, or simply showing up for yourself, this event is for you. Too often, women lose themselves in the titles they carry. Mom. Wife. Caregiver. Provider. Supporter. This race is a reminder that while those roles are important, they do not define the entirety of who you are. You are strong. You are capable. You are worthy of taking up space. You are more than a title. Join us on Saturday, March 20, 2027, as we come together to move with purpose, celebrate one another, and support postpartum awareness.
