LODGING

The Blue Ridge Marathon weekend is about more than race day. It’s about soaking up the charm, character, and flavor of Roanoke. From the cheers and music lining the course to the neighborhoods you pass through mile by mile, the city becomes part of the experience. When it’s time to rest and recover, Roanoke offers lodging that’s just as memorable as the race itself.

Runners and spectators alike can choose from unique boutique stays, including standout spots like the newly reimagined Colony House Motor Lodge. Originally a classic mid-century roadside motel, Colony House has been thoughtfully restored to celebrate its history while offering modern comfort, local design touches, and a welcoming, community-driven vibe—perfect for marathon weekend.

To explore all lodging options—and make your stay part of something bigger—book through the Blue Ridge Marathon ARES portal. Your reservation helps support our fundraising efforts while ensuring you’re right where the action (and recovery) happens.
