Description
The Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon is the premier running event in the Roanoke Valley. It showcases our region to runners across the country and the globe and has created a multi-million dollar economic impact for the region over the past 17 years. Festivities start with packet pickup and a concert on Friday evening in Elmwood Park, continue on Saturday with the main event - a 26.2 mile foot race that goes up Mill Mountain, to the Blue Ridge Parkway, back into the city to Mill Mountain Star, through neighborhoods, and finishing in Elmwood Park. A concert follows in the evening, and the weekend is wrapped up on Sunday with the "Slow-K" 5K event on the greenway.

More about Elmwood Park Amphitheater
Elmwood is the main outdoor stage downtown, right off Jefferson Street. It holds over 4,000 people on an awesome sloped and terraced lawn with good sight lines pretty much everywhere. This is where the bigger free concert series, festivals, and symphony events land in the summer. When something's going on and the weather cooperates, the whole place fills in.
