The Virginia's Blue Ridge Triple Crown challenge is making a triumphant in-person return in 2021! With 2020 and the year of virtual races behind us, we're excited to invite runners from all over the country to Virginia's Blue Ridge for the area's three biggest half marathons.
This series shows who the most dedicated runners are by rewarding those that finish the three races with some serious bling! See the rules and guidelines below…
Participants must register for all three of these races:
Participants must register for each race individually to be eligible for the Triple Crown medal. Registering for one race does not automatically register you for the other races. If you register for all three races by the time registration closes for the Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon (or Half Marathon) and the Salem Half Marathon and by October 11 for Star City, you will automatically be registered to receive the Virginia's Blue Ridge Triple Crown medal. Medals will be distributed at the awards ceremony for the Star City Half Marathon on November 20.
Virginia's Blue Ridge Triple Crown Rules and Regulations:
ABOUT THE 2021 MEDAL:
The Blue Ridge Mountains are known for having a blueish color when viewed from a distance due to isoprene given off by the trees that cover them. Three mountains in the foreground represent the three races, and the runner moves over the mountains along the slot just as Triple Crown runners conquer each race!
The 2021 Triple Crown medal is a 3" x 5" rectangle with a sculpted runner that can be moved through the slot over the Blue Ridge Mountains. The three race names are listed on the medal below the mountains, with a 2021 in the upper right corner. The logo of the challenge title sponsor, Virginia's Blue Ridge is in the upper left. A complementary custom neck ribbon completes the medal for the look of a champion!

This series shows who the most dedicated runners are by rewarding those that finish the three races with some serious bling! See the rules and guidelines below…
Participants must register for all three of these races:
- The Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Full or Half Marathon - April 17, 2021
- The Salem Half Marathon- October 9, 2021
- The Star City Half Marathon- November 20, 2021
Participants must register for each race individually to be eligible for the Triple Crown medal. Registering for one race does not automatically register you for the other races. If you register for all three races by the time registration closes for the Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon (or Half Marathon) and the Salem Half Marathon and by October 11 for Star City, you will automatically be registered to receive the Virginia's Blue Ridge Triple Crown medal. Medals will be distributed at the awards ceremony for the Star City Half Marathon on November 20.
Virginia's Blue Ridge Triple Crown Rules and Regulations:
- You must use the same email address to register for all three races.
- You may register for the LewisGale Salem Half Marathon and Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon (or half) at any time as long as registration is open, but you must register for the Star City Half Marathon by October 11 to be guaranteed a medal. A waiting list will be made for those who register after October 11 2021.
- Due to the ongoing pandemic, if you feel more comfortable racing in the VIRTUAL races instead of in-person, you may do so and still receive the Triple Crown Medal. We prefer that you pick up your medal in person at the Star City Half Marathon or after 11-20-21 at Fleet Feet Roanoke, but if you need your medal mailed to you, contact us and we'll mail it for a small fee.
