Must complete entire course within the time limit to receive an official finish.

All finishes since our first year in 1999 will count towards these belt buckles even though the belt buckles didn't start till 2026 (You will have to race with us again to receive a belt buckle, no belt buckles will be given from previous years).  

• We will only give you your highest belt buckle from previous finishes.  For example, you have 8 finishes after your 2026 event, you will receive your 5X finisher buckle.  Even if you don't finish for the 8th time, you'd still receive your 5x finisher buckle from your previous finishes.  Another example, you have 9 finishes going into the 2026 event.  You finish in 2026 for your 10th time; you'd receive your 10th finisher buckle.  If you don't finish, you're still at 9 finishes, so you'd receive a 5x belt buckle (this example is based on racing ORAMM for the first time since we started the belt buckles).  

• With this being new after 27 years, we might have some case-by-case scenarios so bear with us.  If you have any questions, don't hesitate to reach out.  

Must register for ORAMM by May 1st each year to guarantee you can get your belt buckle the day of the race.  These are fully custom, and the production takes at least two months.  We will order some extras, but if a lot of racers sign up last minute, we may not have enough to give to everyone.  We will do our best to make sure you can get one on the day of the race, but please help us out and sign up early if you're in the running for a belt buckle.

We've probably missed some things, so we reserve the right to make changes to this on the fly as we work through this new situation.  Don't hesitate to reach out to info@blueridgeadventures.net with any questions you might have.
