Outdoor Vendor Fair & 3 State 3 Mountain Bike Challenge

In its 28th year, the Chattanooga Bike Club’s 3 State 3 Mountain Challenge is a premier event that features some of the most scenic and challenging road-cycling routes in the southeast. With climbs up Suck Creek, Sand, and Lookout Mountains, it encompasses a spectacular tour of both the Cumberland Plateau and the Tennessee River basin of Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama.

In conjunction with the Chattanooga Bike Club, local companies and national outdoor retail brands will be on hand at the 3 State 3 Mountain vendor fair to promote and demo a wide variety of outdoor products. On Saturday, Finley Stadium will host a tent demo on its new turf field.
