Course Information:
The Grandfather Mountain Marathon held each year (since 1969) during the Grandfather Mountain Highland Games, one of the largest Scottish Games in America.

This marathon begins in Boone, NC at the Appalachian State University on the track at the Kidd Brewer Stadium, home of the 3-time NCAA Division 1 Football National Champions. The marathon then winds through the breath-taking NC Blue Ridge Mountains, over the Blue Ridge Parkway, up long steep climbs to McRae Meadows where you will be greeted by the sound of bagpipes and an estimated 15,000 spectators.

This unique marathon will provide challenges that are overcome by the rewards.

Runners not able to finish this race in 6 hours are encouraged NOT to participate. The race officially ends at 1:00 pm due to the start of the Highland Games Track and Field events.
