• Description: The Hardest Running Hill Climb in the South is 3.7 miles, with 1,300 feet of ascending. Noon start.
  
  Unlike other hill climbs, your friends and family can park anywhere along the course to cheer you on, and you are allowed to ride back down the hill to the start of the run. After the run, there will be shuttles to bring you back down to our legendary post-race party.
  
  Once again, the Blue Ridge Mountain Club will be rolling out the red carpet, serving up a great BBQ at the gorgeous Watson Gap Pavilion, and there will be plenty of suds to help you "rehydrate" after the race.
