RUN IN REMEMBRANCE TO HONOR VIRGINIA TECH COMMUNITY
April 1, 2015
On this day, April 18th, 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 trails at the Reynolds Homestead 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 Reynolds Homestead, a Commonwealth Campus Center of Virginia Tech, will host its 3rd annual 3.2 for 32 Run in Remembrance on Saturday, April 18 at 9:00 a.m.
This year the event begins not with a launch of balloons, but with a silent tribute to commemorate the lives lost on that fateful day. White balloons will be on display with the names of those who lost their lives, and maroon and orange
balloons will be available for runners to sign to show their support for the Virginia Tech community. The run then begins with a silent start. The Reynolds Homestead supports the university’s decision to not litter and endanger wildlife with released balloons;
instead, participants will be able to take their commemorative balloons home with them.
Commemorative race bibs and t-shirts will be provided to the first 60 who register. The Virginia Tech Alumni Association will also be present with free goodies for participants as well. Registration is FREE and forms are available on the
Reynolds Homestead website or by calling 276-694-7181. On-site registration will begin at 7:30 a.m. in front of the Continuing Education Center.
Donations to the Patrick County Food Bank are requested from participants. Anyone who would like to volunteer to assist with the event—helping with registration, refreshments, being a spotter, etc., —can register online at VolunteerSpot:
