Elevation profile: Blue Ridge Marathon

We are not running this race, but man look at this profile for the Blue Ridge Parkway Marathon:


According to the website: "The full marathon course includes 3,076 feet of total elevation gain and 6,140 feet of total elevation change."

Hills are measured in thousands of feet instead of hundreds. Man, that looks brutal. And this guy here claims he is going to run a PR on it... barefoot!

  1. Triple F: Ha - close. It'll be my third. I ran the first two like a rookie. So long as I'm not an idiot in the mountains, I'll PR.

    Wait... so long as I'm not an idiot... uh oh...
