Description:
Virginia Tech presents a Virtual 3.2 for 32 Run in Remembrance starting on Thursday, April 16, 2020 and continuing through Saturday, April 18, 2020.

Virginia Tech will host a virtual run during a three-day period to encourage proper distancing and adhere to state and local public health guidelines.

Participants can run, walk, or jog on their own. Hokies are encouraged to wear their favorite orange and maroon and post a picture online using #VT32Run on Twitter and Instagram. Photos can also be submitted to the Facebook Event linked below.

The virtual option features a printable bib which is available at: https://recsports.vt.edu/content/dam/recsports_vt_edu/2020%20Virtual%20Run%20in%20Remembrance%20Bib.pdf.

The annual community event is now in its 12th year and draws tens of thousands of Hokies to participate in Blacksburg to honor and remember the 32 students and faculty who lost their lives on April 16, 2007.

Amid the worldwide effort to combat COVID-19, Virginia Tech Rec Sports announced last month the traditional event would be canceled, but has worked to organize a virtual offering to bring Hokies together while maintaining social distance.

“For years the run has been a way for all Hokies to remember and celebrate the lives of lost Hokies and be in community,” said Alison Cross, Rec Sports director. “By asking people to share their experience virtually, we hope everyone continues to see the power of this event.”

Cross added that the exact distance isn’t important, but rather the sense of community Hokies can create.

Note: This event is not supporting physical gatherings and is intended to support social connectedness through physical distancing.
