Blue Ridge Relay (BRR)
The Blue Ridge Relay is a team relay covering approximately 208 miles through the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and North Carolina. Teams of between 4 and 12 members rotate through 36 transition areas as they cover the course. Event variations include team relays and a ruck division, each following the same overall route.
The race starts at Grayson Highlands State Park, VA, at an elevation of 4,920 feet near the base of Mount Rogers. The course primarily follows scenic country roads through North Carolina's High Country and includes multiple distinct sections: four legs on the Blue Ridge Parkway totaling almost 20 miles, four legs along nearly 14 miles of the New River, and a 10.5 mile stretch on Leg 15 along the south shoulder of Grandfather Mountain.
The route passes through small towns and communities before finishing in Asheville, NC. The finish is hosted at Highland Brewing Company in Asheville, in the Meadow area, which offers food trucks, a large lawn, shade, and picnic tables.
Registration for the listed 2027 events opens on November 2, 2026 and closes on July 22, 2027. Published entry fees for team divisions are shown for reference. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
