About the Smoky Mountain Relay

A point-to-point mountain relay that starts at a ranger station inside Pisgah National Forest and finishes at an outdoor center in Bryson City. The course moves through the western Carolina mountains in legs split among teammates, with enough climbing and remote terrain that each runner in the van will have a story by the end of the day, or night, depending on how fast your team moves.
