The Blue Ridge Marathon Series was created by a non-profit known as Roanoke Outside Foundation whose mission is to make outdoor activity and environmental stewardship a core component of our region’s lifestyle by promoting a “conservation through recreation”
philosophy. All proceeds of the Blue Ridge Marathon go toward our main beneficiaries the Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway or other local charitable organizations.
The Blue Ridge Marathon has THE MOST elevation change of any road race in the United States. This is how it gets it’s “toughest” road marathon status.
NEW Sunday Slow-K Race has been added to race weekend!!
The new Blue Ridge “Slow-K” will celebrate everyone’s accomplishments and allow for runner recovery. The 5K will have a leisurely start at 9 a.m. on Sunday, April 14, at the River’s Edge Sports Complex. Anyone can participate. Registration is $15 through March 13. (Kids can participate for half price and eat all the treats they want, but don’t get a coffee mug.)
The race won’t be timed, but runners will get a Slow-K coffee mug and donuts at the finish. The course along the Roanoke River Greenway will also include a few other surprises. We’ve dubbed the race America’s Slowest 5k with the idea being to stop looking at your watch, and instead slow down and connect with other runners and race organizers.
