From Race Director, Stan Corcoran:

Many of you are probably wondering what the status of the Chattanooga Rat Race is in the wake of the Coronavirus. It is scheduled to be held May 31. As of today, here is what we know.

The race is sanctioned by USA Swimming and USMS. Both organizations have suspended competitions for the next 30 days. After this period, they will re-evaluate and advise if the race can be held. We, as hosts, want very much to hold the event, but we understand the position USA Swimming and USMS are in.

If you have already signed up and the race is canceled, you will be refunded in full except for the processing fee.

If you want to do the race, but have been hesitant to register, feel free to sign up. If the race is canceled, you will also be refunded in full (minus processing fee).

You can register and get all the information at chattanoogaswimfest.org.

As we get updates from USA Swimming and USMS, we will email you.

Thank you and stay well.
