About the race
The Blue Ridge Relay is a multi-day team relay held in September 2027 across the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and North Carolina. The event covers approximately 208 miles and routes teams through 36 transition areas on primarily scenic country roads.
Teams consist of 4 to 12 runners, with specific event formats listed as Blue Ridge Relay for teams of 7 to 12 runners, Blue Ridge Relay for teams of 4 to 6 runners, and BRRuck. Teams typically complete the course in about 20 to 36 hours, and the event infrastructure supports up to 200 teams.

After the start, the route follows a series of country roads through high country areas in North Carolina before finishing in Asheville, North Carolina at Highland Brewing Company The Meadow at about 2,125 feet. Course materials include detailed maps, leg-by-leg printouts, cue sheets, and a leg summary chart for all 36 legs.
