The Half Marathon is a point to point course with shuttle service from Blue Ridge High School. The course travels on National Forest Service roads and finishes on the high school track. A 4-hour time limit applies to the Half Marathon, which requires maintaining approximately an 18:19 per mile pace; course checkpoints are located at miles 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. Participants may be transported off course by race personnel if they do not meet checkpoint requirements.
The Glow/Color 3K is a non-timed, family-oriented evening event around the school track and paved pathways; much of the route is not brightly lit and includes a short grass section. A color zone is available for those who wish to be splashed with color powder. Registration for many events includes a race T-shirt and a finisher medal; the Kids 1K provides shirts and medals for the first 75 registered children.
