The 2023 Virginia Tech 3.2 Mile Run in Remembrance will be held on Saturday, April 15, 2023 beginning at 9:00 AM and starting on Alumni Mall near Torgersen Bridge 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.
