About Us
The Blue Ridge Marathon was created by the Roanoke Regional Partnership to showcase the region’s commitment to making outdoor recreation and environmental stewardship a core component of the Roanoke Region lifestyle. Learn more about living and working in the Roanoke Region at www.roanoke.org.
As the race has grown, so has the need for it to become its own entity. The Blue Ridge Marathon now operates under the non-profit arm Roanoke Outside. To date, the marathon has had over a million dollars in direct economic impact (read our latest report).
Many answers to your race questions can be found on the FAQ page. Please view this section before contacting us.

Happy Running!
