Last year’s Run in remembrance brought out hundreds of participants.
Registration is now open for Virginia Tech’s annual 3.2-mile Run in Remembrance, which will take place on Saturday, April 13.
The event will begin with a moment of silence at 9 a.m. to honor and remember the vibrant lives of the 32 students and faculty who were tragically taken from us in 2007.
The event’s 3.2-mile loop around the Blacksburg campus will begin in front of Patton Hall, near Burrus Hall and pass by landmarks such the Grove, Lane Stadium, and the Virginia Tech Pylons, and end at the April 16 Memorial.
Event T-shirts will be available for purchase at cost with shipping and in-person pickup options. Participants who wish to guarantee that their shirt arrives in time for the event should purchase by March 22.
Opportunities are available for those who wish to participate as a volunteer. Roles include check-in, balloon setup, route marshals, and finish line assistance.
Virtual participation opportunities will be available in addition to the in-person event. Virtual participants are encouraged to move in a way that is meaningful to them and to share photos using the hashtag “#VT32Run” on Instagram and Twitter. Encouragement and communication will also be shared through the respective Facebook Event.
Registration details, T-shirt purchasing options, and event updates can be found at recsports.vt.edu/runfor32.
