YOU MUST CARRY WATER
**** YOU MUST BE CARRYING AT LEAST 15 to 20oz OF WATER OR TAILWIND OR SIMILAR AT THE START.
IF NOT, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO RUN R2BR! ****
All Runners registering by Aug 4th Will Receive Race Shirts
We are giving custom made, fully sublimated shirts at R2BR. These shirts must be ordered 6 weeks prior to the race. Consequently, we must "guess" at the number and size of shirts we will need. Everyone that registered by August 4th will get a race shirt. If we miss on the numbers, the shirts will be given out at the race based on registration date. If we guessed wrong on a size or two, we will order additional shirts after the race. These are the same type shirts we gave at HNH. Our "guess" was close. We only need to order 3 additional. The shirt will be worth the wait!
Clydesdale and Athena Divisions
We are again adding Clydesdale and Athena divisions for Ridge to Blazing Ridge. Men that weigh 200 lbs. or more can inter the Clydesdale division. Women 140 or over can enter the Athena division. Clydesdale and Athens Divisions are considered separate races, as is the "Overall Division." In effect, each R2BR distance will be considered three separate races: Athena, Clydesdale and Overall. Awards will be give out for the Athena and Clydesdale divisions independent of Overall awards. Results will be posted in the Athena or Clydesdale division, not overall.

View the course map and download the GPX file on the Southeastern Trail Runs website.
In 2019, We had 81 Runners Registered for the 21 Mile Race. 37 Finished. The course is difficult and it will be hot.
This race is considerably harder than the previous two races and it will probably be very hot. Runners MUST carry water at all times during the race. NO EXCEPTIONS!! For best results, I suggest drinking Tailwind in the place of water. We supply Tailwind at both aid station along with plenty of water.
Don't forget, the park charges $5 per person to enter Oak Mtn State Park. Credit cards are NOT accepted.
