Rabid Raccoon 25K
Rabid Raccoon 25K is a 25-kilometre trail race held in Whiteside, United States, in January. It takes place on Raccoon Mountain, close to Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the route is roughly 15 miles long.
Runners follow technical, root-covered singletrack over the north and west flanks of the mountain, linking trails such as Megawatt, Split Rock, High Voltage, Live Wire, Lower Chunky and Grindstone Ridge. The direction of travel is switched from one edition to the next.
Total climbing comes to about 2,200 feet. Two sustained ascents shape the day: one of 4.5 miles gaining 1,186 feet, and a shorter 1.4-mile pull of 225 feet. The course tops out at 1,848 feet and drops to 648 feet at its lowest.
The race is cupless, so every runner carries their own hydration. Proceeds go to SORBA, the Southern Off-Road Bicycle Association.
