Run the 2020 Blue Ridge Marathon

As 2019 nears an end, it’s time to start filling up your 2020 racing calendar!

This week #RunChat welcomes back our longtime friends from the Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon, known as America’s Toughest Road Marathon.

Next year’s race in Roanoke, Virginia, will be Saturday, April 18, and features a total elevation gain/loss of 7,430 feet as it winds its way through parts of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

“The Blue Ridge Marathon course is not for the faint of heart,” as race organizers say on their website.
