Virginia's Blue Ridge Triple Crown
Bank of Botetourt Triple Crown Sprint Series
Description
The Virginia's Blue Ridge Triple Crown challenge is back with an amazing medal and more options! We're excited to invite runners from all over the country to Virginia's Blue Ridge for the area's three biggest half marathons and 10K/8K races. There's also a Triple Crown option for the shorter races, dubbed the "Triple Crown Sprint Series."
These series show who the most dedicated runners are by rewarding those that finish the three races with some serious bling!
Rules
To earn the Virginia's Blue Ridge Triple Crown medal, participants must register for all three of these races:
- The Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Full or Half Marathon - April 20, 2024
- The Salem Half Marathon- October 12, 2024
- The Star City Half Marathon- November 23, 2024
Participants who register for all three races will of course get serious bragging rights, but will also be awarded with an awesome 4" Triple Crown medal! Triple Crown participants must complete all three half marathon or greater distances.
To earn the Triple Crown Sprint Series medal, participants must register for all three of these races:
- The Anthem Star-10K or Freedom First Team Relay - April 20, 2024
- The Salem Half 8K- October 12, 2024
- The Star City 10K- November 23, 2024
Participants who register for all three races will of course get serious bragging rights, but will also be awarded with an awesome 3" Triple Crown Sprint Series medal!
Bonus: Mix & Match!
If you choose to run one or more half marathon (or greater distance) and one or more of the shorter distance races for a total of 3 races (one in each of the Blue Ridge, Salem, and Star City races), you will qualify for the Triple Crown Sprint Series!
Rules and Regulations:
Participants must register for each race individually to be eligible for either medal. Use the same email address to register for all three races. Registering for one race does not automatically register you for the other races.
Medals will be awarded on a first registered, first awarded basis, so register early! You will only be considered awarded a medal once you register for all 3 races. Due to manufacturing production time, we must order medals EXTRA early, so Triple Crown medals are limited to 200 participants in each category... register early to guarantee your medal!
As we return to a more normal race atmosphere, we want to see you race in person as much as possible! For 2024, we require that at least 2 of your 3 races be in person.
We prefer that you pick up your medal in person at the Star City Half Marathon, but if you need your medal mailed to you, contact us and we'll mail it for a small fee.
Medal
The mountains are calling, especially Roanoke's beloved Mill Mountain! Framed in blue, Mill Mountain with the STAR on top is the centerpiece of this year's medal, complete with the twisty-turny road that descends to the valley floor. The frame contains the names of the three featured races in the series, with "2024" emblazoned across the top. A custom ribbon accompanies the medal to celebrate the accomplishment of runners and so they can wear it proudly!
