The 5 year Belt Buckle

The heaviest hardware to be earned by a Chattajack participant since the inception of the event: the 5-year belt buckle. Chattajack has seen 8 racers toe the line 5 consecutive years, submit to Mother Nature’s gauntlet, and complete the course (assuming all goes well for the elite 8 in 2016). These masterpieces were handcrafted by A Cut Above Buckles , the creator of some of the world’s finest custom buckles. They are our way of thanking you for your deep level of commitment,

J&J Rax

Working with J&J Rax over the past 2 years to enhance the Chattajack experience for racers has been an honor. The thought, time, craftsmanship, and sweat equity they instill into their race contributions would make Antonio Stradivari blush. Last year they offered to make some custom racks for podium finishers, little did we know they were including embedded finisher medal medallions into the wood, say what!. We asked them if they could help us come up with something to suppor

Custom J&J Rax CJ SUP Rack

J&J Rax went totally above and beyond the awards they gifted for this year’s Chattajack. The craftsmanship instilled into these things hold their own against mom’s English imported mahogany vignette handed down 3 generations. 3 lucky dudes and 3 lucky dudettes will be going home with the raddest one of a kind custom SUP rack ever. That’s the 2015 Chattajack seal recessed and resined in flush just for kicks too. Jeremy Smith will have a booth at basecamp with other samples of

2015 Registration, Ross’s Landing, Kona Brewing

With your help, Chattajack has grown each year. We have big plans for 2015, including a move to Ross’s Landing, across the River. Ross’s Landing is a large green space/city park beside the TN Aquarium and right on the water. There we will have a 300ft long floating dock, allowing for easy water access. This move will also give us more space to create a Chattajack “Basecamp” with a huge 40’x60’ tent, and allow for a single location for your Registration check-in, the awards ce

Chattajack 2014 Top Finishers!

The 3rd annual Chattajack is in the books and it was another unforgettable day. Tons of paddlers achieved massive bucket list checks, others PR’s and some set course records. During the week preceding the race the Tennessee river had maintained constant high flows providing a sense of security to many that it would be the easiest year so far for fast times. On race day morning the flow was cut back significantly. When people registering for Chattajack as the question, “How fa
