Blue Ridge Relay

Thank YOU 2025 Runners!

Hope to see you in 2026...
as we begin the 3rd decade of running the breathtaking Blue Ridge Mountains!

September 11-12, 2026 (Fri. - Sat.)

1. The Blue Ridge Parkway is the most visited treasure of the National Park Service…BRR has permission to run 4 legs (almost 20 miles) on the Parkway, all of which capture the big views of the Blue Ridge.
2. The New River is a designated National Wild and Scenic River, as well as one of only 14 American Heritage Rivers in the USA…BRR runs sections of 4 legs along almost 14 miles of the spectacular New River.
3. BRR doesn’t run to the summit of Grandfather Mountain (5964′), but the 10.5 miles of Leg 15 wind along Grandfather’s south shoulder.
4. The scenic beauty of the BRR is also captured in the less known or unnamed sites along the one lane gravel roads of mountain hollows, rolling Christmas tree farms, nighttime legs along many of the mountain rivers and creeks, and breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge.
5. BRR runs through many quaint and revitalized small towns and hamlets before the finish in Asheville, NC: Jefferson West Jefferson Todd Boone Blowing Rock Linville Newland Spruce Pine Bakersville Burnsville
6. The Finish!
   After an epic 208 miles of running and 20-36 hours in a van with some of your closest friends, what better way to finish than at Highland Brewing Company in Asheville, NC.  Highland Brewing Company will once again be hosting the BRR Finish in their Meadow, with a variety of food trucks, it's big lawn, plenty of shade, picnic tables and of course, Highland Brewing Company.

Join fellow runners on September 11, 2026 for the Blue Ridge Relay. It's a fantastic Ultra featuring a flat and fast course in Asheville.
