COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 It is an unbelievable feeling to cross the finish line! The entire time during the 1/2 marathon, I kept telling myself 'this is amazing!' The race is very organized and Elmwood Park is a great location for beginning and ending the race. See you on the course again next year! | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 I just finished my fifth Blue Ridge Marathon and it gets better every year! It is a tough course, but it is designed for runners all the way. Aid stations are perfectly spaced and the crowd support is unbelievable. I am already planning for next year. I give the highest possible recommendation for this marathon! | |

"VERY tough and challenging course." (about: 2016)
4-5 previous marathons
| 1 Blue Ridge Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 5 This was my fifth marathon overall, but first Blue Ridge Marathon. As a native of Roanoke, I wanted to return, and knew it would be a terrific challenge. I was not disappointed. It was the hardest race I have yet done, but a beautiful course, and first rate organization. Now that I have done it, I would like to do it again with improved preparation and training. | |

"Awesome scenery, great run support!" (about: 2016)
First Marathon
COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 The only thing I would comment on was there wasn't enough pizza for everyone. This was VERY minor in my book as I wouldn't have had any either way, I can't eat it after a race. This was an AWESOME race and I will be back. I ran the half. | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 3 This marathon was the perfect marathon. By the time I reached the finish line, I felt like I had just gotten off a roller coaster. The runners are there for a purpose and that is to race. The temperatures, the hills, the volunteers, the officers all made it an incredible race. | |

COURSE: 5 ORGANIZATION: 5 FANS: 4 Have run the Full twice. This year was my first half here. Live in a very flat area now and my legs did not love the downhills. The course is beautiful and Roanoke, VA is a great little city. Absolutely consider this race. |
