The 2025 Virginia Tech 3.2 Mile Run in Remembrance will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025 beginning at 9:00 AM and starting in front of War Memorial Hall on the campus of Virginia Tech.
On this day, the Virginia Tech community reflects on the vibrant lives of the 32 students and faculty who were tragically taken from us on April 16, 2007. This community run/walk throughout the campus of Virginia Tech strives to bring fellow Hokies together, to feel the support of the community, and to celebrate the lives of our friends and family members.
The event will begin at 9:00 AM with a moment of silence to honor and remember the vibrant lives of the 32 students and faculty.
The event’s 3.2-mile loop around the Blacksburg campus begins in front of War Memorial Hall, passing iconic landmarks such the Grove, Lane Stadium, and the Virginia Tech Pylons and ends at the April 16th Memorial.
Runners, walkers and stroller pushers of all levels are welcome. Please note there are no awards and no timing results.
The 3.2 Run is free and open to the public.
