Tobacco Road Relay

Blue Ridge Endurance hosts the following unique events.  We hope you'll join us.

Blue Ridge Relay is a 208-mile relay-style running race.  After the Start in Grayson Highlands State Park, VA at an elevation of 4920', teams of 4-12 runners follow the course through the back roads and small towns of Virginia and North Carolina's Blue Ridge Mountains.  Each team will navigate the 36 Legs of the BRR course as they race to the Finish in Asheville, NC.  Hope you'll join us for BRR2025, our 21st anniversary and 21st consecutive year.  "Should be found on every Southern runner's must-do list!"  Helene recovery continues, but our small mountain communities want to get life back to normal.  Friday-Saturday, September 5-6, 2025!
