The 200-mile Blue Ridge Relay (BRR200), which is one of the longest running relay races in the United States, will take place in the picturesque Blue Ridge and Black Mountains of Virginia and North Carolina. The BRR200 will consist of (a maximum) 12 person (8 person minimum) teams that will rotate through 36 transition areas as they cover the approximate 200- mile distance of the race. Each relay team member will run 3 legs of varying lengths and difficulty and will cover an average total distance of ~16.6 miles.

The BRR200 will start at Grayson Highlands State Park, Grayson County, VA, which is near the base of Mount Rogers (5729'), the highest peak in Virginia. The course will primarily follow scenic, country roads as it winds its way through North Carolina's High Country to the finish in Asheville, North Carolina. The course features some of the region's most spectacular scenery including the balds of Grayson Highlands State Park, the New River, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Grandfather Mountain (5964'), and Mount Mitchell (6684'), the highest peak east of the Mississippi River.
