Relay For Life at Virginia Tech returns! Join us on the Drillfield as we celebrate, remember and fight back for a cure! There will be lots of free food, music, games, fun, entertainment, and most importantly, ceremonies to honor those who have been touched by cancer.

Relay For Life at Virginia Tech is a year-long, record-breaking fundraiser that benefits the American Cancer Society and culminates in this annual event. The Virginia Tech Relay is the largest collegiate Relay for Life in the nation, raising nearly half a million dollars for the American Cancer Society every year.

All are encouraged to participate and the event is open to the public. You may sign up as an individual or with a team or campus organization.

The Registration Fee is $25.00 per person the day of the event. Cash, check or Venmo accepted. Some activities are additional costs. Donations are encouraged.
