Running
• The oldest running road race in Chattanooga will be held again Monday in what has become traditional as a Memorial Day event in the Riverview area of North Chattanooga.

The 8-kilometer main event will start at 8 a.m. at Riverview Park and features the grueling Minnekahda climb, and for the first time there will be prize money for the top three overall male and female finishers: $100, $50 and $30.
