Who We Are

Fast Break Athletics is the "heart and sole" of Chattanooga Running

We're more than just a running store—we're a community. With the warmth and friendliness of a neighborhood pub, we’re the place where runners of all levels come together to gear up, connect, and find inspiration.

We're the unofficial historians of Chattanooga running. Behind our counter, we've got stacks of old newspaper clippings from the last 100 years. 

The night the four-minute-mile barrier was broken in Chattanooga? We hosted the party. 

Running, walking, trail, apparel, gear? Yes. 

Expert service, big-hearted kindness, air guitars? Definitely. 

OUR TEAM

Meet the All-Stars of Fast Break Athletics


Come meet our team; we've won 100-mile races, birthed children, played in rock bands. Shake hands with the original owner, Dick Dillard, who still works every Wednesday. Talk philosophy with current owner Alan Outlaw. See if he can spell "Nietzsche." (He can't.)
