The Full GOAT

All Distances Combine to take America’s Toughest Road Races to the Next Level.

Stats: 101 Road Miles Run, 26,280′ of Elevation Change, 4 Medals, Top-Notch Apparel, a Cup o’ Joe, a Donut, a Goat Statue, and Bragging Rights for the Rest of Your Life.

Bold souls: take each of the Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon distances and combine them for the ultimate street cred. That’s the Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon + the Foot Levelers Half Marathon + the Anthem Star 10K + the Blue Ridge Double + your victory lap at the Blue Ridge Slow-K. You get all the medals that come with each distance, as well as a new goat trophy to display with pride.

Here are the rules:

1. All distances must be completed on the official Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon courses in Roanoke, VA. Turn-by-turn GPS maps for each distance will be provided to all registered runners.
2. All distances must be completed like this:
   1. Between April 10 and April 17, complete the following virtual races:
      1. The Anthem Star 10K (2,000′ elevation change)
      2. Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Half Marathon (3,790′ elevation change)
      3. Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Full Marathon (7,430′ elevation change)
   2. On April 18, complete the Blue Ridge Double Marathon, in-person. (14,860′ elevation change)
   3. On April 19, complete America’s Slowest 5k Presented by Altra, in-person. (~0′ elevation change)
3. You are responsible for your own aid and safety during virtual distances–roads will not be closed. However, we will provide a private Facebook group and email chain in case you’d like to coordinate with other GOATs.
4. In the event that there is a race-day cancellation, your Double Marathon registration will be transferred to virtual and you will have three days to complete the remainder of your Double Marathon virtually and submit it to RunSignUp. Details will be sent to you if this happens.

Registration/Lottery: 

• Past GOATs have reserved registrations in the Full GOAT for themselves only.
• All others hoping to do the challenge should submit their names and information to the 2026 Full GOAT lottery.
• On November 26 at midnight, the lottery will close. At 12:01 am November 27, remaining spots will be filled with lottery winners.
• Once the selected lottery winners are drawn, they will receive the invitation to register and have three days to complete their registration.
• After the initial lottery winners have reached the three day deadline, if there are still spaces remaining (for example, chosen lottery winners do not complete registration) subsequent entrants will be drawn and be invited to register. Each subsequent entrant has three days to complete registration before another lottery winner is drawn.
• Registration will close on January 31 or when all spots are full.
