A beautiful, challenging course in Chattanooga, TN, put on by the awesome crew at Bad Beard Events. Tough miles, gritty climbs, and all the good vibes.

Sal battled through an ankle injury and still snagged 2nd female — pure toughness.

Patrick led the charge, pushing through pain and showing what grit really looks like.

Hard course, strong effort, unforgettable experience… and Chattanooga absolutely delivered the vibes.
