This course is a celebration of the human spirit, its toughness is only matched only by the scenery of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the hospitality you will experience along the way. You will find more elevation change here than in any other road race in America. Thanks to title sponsor Foot Levelers, we take care of you at every step with specialized training programs, legendary course support, a music festival at the finish line, and an epic recovery day. The Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon Series has earned its title as “America’s Toughest Road Marathon” by challenging runners with over 7,430 ft. in elevation change, more than any other road marathon in the U.S. This race runs along the famously scenic Blue Ridge Parkway, and proceeds from this non-profit event benefit the parkway and local charities.

For years, a group of dedicated (some might argue crazy) runners have shown up in the middle of the night before the Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon. This un-official “double” rapidly gained popularity and soon there were dozens of runners burning the midnight oil to run 52.4 miles within fourteen hours (many finish in 8-9 hours). That is when the Blue Ridge DOUBLE Marathon was born. 2017 was the first official year and it sold out with 75 runners. For 2018 the race allotted 100 spots, and sold out again. We now cap the event at 150 runners, and sell out every year. The race has a cult-like following with runners coming from all over the country to test their grit on America’s Toughest Road Marathon (or double) course. The weekend's events include the Sunday Slow-5K (April 21st). See - https://blueridgemarathon.com/sunday-slowk/. This event is owned and operated by the Roanoke Outside Foundation whose mission to make outdoor activity and environmental stewardship a core component of our community’s lifestyle by promoting a “conservation through recreation” philosophy.
