15th Annual Blue Ridge Mtn Adventure Race
New!
Elite & Sport Races
In the spring of 1998, the Blue Ridge Mountain Adventure Race began as Georgia’s first adventure race. Fifteen years later the race continues to be a favorite of racers throughout the Southeast. Teams look forward to a new adventure each year welcoming spring to Georgia's Blue Ridge Mountains. Organizers of the 15th Annual Blue Ridge Mountain Adventure Race on April 14, 2012, promise a challenging contest with lots of surprises and some of the most stunning scenery anywhere -- plus two race formats to choose from.Â
The Elite Race is like the traditional Blue Ridge race experienced teams love, with a six to ten hour finish.
The new Sport Race will offer teams a shorter four to six hour course. The 15th annual race will once again finish in downtown Blue Ridge Park in front of The Art Center. Plan to enjoy a post-race party in the park, reception and meal for racers and support. You can buy extra tickets for family members when you register.
Trophies will be presented to co-ed teams of three and masters teams of three in the Elite Race; and to co-ed teams of three in the Sport Race. Open teams of two and three will receive a finish time and finisher award. Of course, everyone gets lots of great swag!
So get your team ready to run, paddle, mountain bike and navigate in the beautiful North Georgia Mountains. Up to 100 teams of two or three (plus one support person) will run along the forested trails of the Chattahoochee National Forest, paddle on the Toccoa River and/or Lake Blue Ridge, mountain bike steep trails and complete mystery challenges along the way.
