Chattanooga officials have submitted a letter of intent stating the city plans to bid to host the 2020 U.S. Olympic Team Trials marathon.
“We’re at the very beginning stages. There’s a lot of work to be done,” Chattanooga Sports Committee President Tim Morgan said.
The city still must formally submit the bid, which must be done by March.
The men’s and women’s race will be held on the same day early in 2020. An exact date has not been finalized.
Atlanta, Austin, Tex. and Orlando, Fla. also submitted bids, according to USA Track & Field.
