Event Description
Wouldn't it be nice to go for an epic journey on a beautiful scenic road? Of course it would... and now you can, virtually! Run (or walk) and/or bike the distance of the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, North Carolina, or both! You can even add on Skyline Drive if you wish. Log your miles from August 1 through October 30 (Wave 1) or September 1 through November 30 (Wave 2) and work your way through some of the most scenic views on the East Coast! Run (or walk) and/or bike anywhere you want- your neighborhood, local greenways, laps around your backyard, or even a treadmill.
All along the way, you'll get updates of where you are along the parkway complete with pictures to complete your virtual experience.
Upon completion of the Blue Ridge Parkway Virtual Challenge, all participants will receive a custom challenge shirt and one, three, or even FIVE medals!
Blue Ridge Racing is bringing you this challenge because we want to encourage you to have a goal through the fall. Plus, we're giving a portion of the proceeds from this event to Friends of the Blue Ridge Parkway! FRIENDS works with members, volunteers, partners and a network of FRIENDS chapters to support the Blue Ridge Parkway and National Park Service (NPS). Members of FRIENDS financially support Parkway work and NPS programs, special projects, and events on the
Blue Ridge Parkway.
***Disclaimer: Do not run, walk or bike on unsafe or closed roads. Follow social distancing guidelines and any other requirements set forth by local, state and federal agencies. This is a virtual event only, not a mass gathering.***
