Have you ever considered completing a marathon? The 2016 inaugural Chattanooga Marathon is the perfect opportunity!

Hello, my name is Nathan Vaughn and I serve as a captain in the Chattanooga Police Department. I am honored to have been asked to serve as Captain Cut-off for the Chattanooga Marathon on March 6, 2016. In this role I will be the official final participant in the marathon.

What does that mean for you? To complete the marathon and be awarded your official Chattanooga Marathon finishers medal, all you have to do is stay ahead of me! I will be maintaining a brisk walking pace of 16 minute miles. Anything faster than that and you’re gold! Slower than that and you will be “cut-off” from the course and race support.

Up for the challenge? Join me as I lead Captain Cut-off’s platoon! I will provide you with a training plan, encouragement, tips, and insight based on my experience in previous marathon events. We will have group training and social opportunities as we train and prepare for the big event.

Join me for the inaugural Chattanooga Marathon on March 6, 2016. We will venture 26.2 miles through Chattanooga’s vibrant communities as we enjoy the sights, sounds, and excitement of community supporters. This is a great opportunity to finish a marathon in a beautiful city recognized as the best outdoor destination. You can do this….let’s do this!
