Location

The Blue Ridge Mountains are among the best training grounds in the U.S.
We’ll prove it.

THE BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAINS:

ULTIMATE EAST COAST TRAINING GROUNDS

According to scientists, the Blue Ridge Mountain range was  among one of the first-born mountain regions in the world.

While they don’t have the height of the Rockies due to hundreds of millions of years of erosion, they do have some of the toughest terrain and the least traveled roads than any other mountainous region in the U.S.

Accessibility:

The Blue Ridge is within reasonable drive, unlike the Rockies or Tucson, for more than 180 million people or 56%* of the U.S. population who lives east of the Mississippi River. More than half of all endurance athletes live in the Eastern one-third of the country.
