About

The Blue Ridge Relay is a 208-mile (334.7 km) team relay through the rugged Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and North Carolina, finishing in Asheville. It starts at 5:00 a.m. on September 10, 2027. Teams of four to twelve runners take on 36 consecutive relay legs, with some challenging exchange zones along the way.

The course begins high in Grayson Highlands State Park and crosses rolling country roads, sections of the iconic Blue Ridge Parkway and scenic stretches along the New River. Runners face tough climbs around Grandfather Mountain and pass through a string of small mountain towns before celebrating at the finish at Highland Brewing Company in Asheville, North Carolina. It is a true relay for athletes looking for breathtaking scenery and a formidable team challenge.
