Long Run Day

March 28th is Long Run Day in the Roanoke Valley!

Training to #RunBlueRidge or not - the Foot Levelers Blue Ridge Marathon is coming to Roanoke, April 18, 2026.

Three weeks ahead of race day, on March 28, race organizers will be up on Mill Mountain cheering on runners with a pop-up aid station from 8:30-11am. So, if you're out scoping out the route and getting in one of your last long runs ahead of the race, make sure you run by the star for a high-five and some treats!

Fleet Feet Roanoke will be hosting their usual training program beginning at River's Edge that day. Run with them, or run on your own schedule. We'll be at the star all morning!

And, if you're not planning to run on April 18, but you're excited that America's Toughest Road Races are just around the corner, come out for a walk or run and stop by the Star to say hello!
