Blue Ridge Ultra

The Blue Ridge Ultra is a challenging trail running event held in Blue Ridge, Georgia, within the scenic Chattahoochee National Forest. It offers three race distances: 50K, 30K, and 15K, all featuring rugged terrain including single-track trails, creek crossings, steep ascents, and descents. The 50K course loops through the Benton MacKaye Trail, Hidden trails, and Forest Service roads, starting and finishing at the historic Shallowford iron bridge over the Toccoa River.

Runners enjoy vibrant fall foliage, fully stocked aid stations, and a hot post-race meal. The event also includes a canine run and offers cash prizes for breaking the 50K course records. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
