The Magnum Mile — noted as “Chattanooga’s fastest track event” — will return to the track at the Girls Preparatory School on Saturday, Aug. 26.

The race is part of the annual Cam Run, a day-long running event that honors the legacy of Cameron Bean, which is hosted by Fast Break Athletics + the Chattanooga Track Club.

The event features three main races:

  • The Magnum Mile Invite | Middle school + high school athletes
  • The Magnum Mile | Top 25 men + women from the Cam Run 5K
  • The Magnum Mile Elite | Competitive athletes

New to this year is the Magnum Mile Elite, bringing competitive athletes from across the county to compete in “the fastest mile ever run on Chattanooga soil.” Note: Participation in this event is by invitation only, so filling out the interest form does not guarantee entry.

The races are free + open to the public. Cash and special prizes will be given to the race winners. Sign up to participate in the Cam Run or Magnum Mile online.
