Introducing the Beach to Blue Ridge Challenge!
(this is the return route of the Blue Ridge to the Beach Challenge)

 

Your Next Challenge STARTS November 7th 2023 (& ends MAY 7, 2024!)

We've already raised over $130,000 for local food banks and programs! 

Six months to complete!

Join over 9,000 fellow challengers and experience North Carolina on an epic city-by-city expedition. We've have had thousands of runners and cyclists make their way from Asheville to Wrightsville Beach.  Now we inspire you to go WEST!  Wrightsville Beach to Asheville. 

Along the way, you will earn milestone badges for each major city in the Tar Heel State.  Make no mistake, this challenge will test you! But don't fret, as we will motivate you along the way!  All challengers receive a limited edition Beach to Blue Ridge T-Shirt, a gorgeous Finisher's Medal and a custom Pre-Race Bib, as well as Live Map Tracking of your progress, a Challenger's Leaderboard, a digital Finisher's Certificate with your stats and access to our Challenger's Community on Facebook.

 

Live Map Progress Tracking!

You will be able to see your progress along the route as you enter your mileage!  Our live map tracking feature will even allow you to see where your fellow challengers are on the map compared to you - now that's some motivation! (see example below)

We Are Making An Impact! 

$130K and counting for local food banks & programs!!!
All Challengers Support Local North Carolina Food Banks, Hunger Relief Programs, and Animal Welfare.

Donations support local North Carolina food banks and hunger relief programs to help people who are in dire need of food. Before Covid-19, 1 in 9 Americans struggled with food insecurity. As a result of Covid-19, food insecurity is expected to double worldwide. Our updated goal is to raise a $150,000 to support local programs, including Feeding The Carolinas, The Inter-faith Council for Social Service, and Table. In addition, you can choose to donate to support the Beautiful Together Animal Sanctuary supporting animal welfare in North Carolina.
