We will not allow the transfer to next year as in years past. We are not sure we will do a 13th edition so do not want to offer that option due to uncertainty of the event happening in 2025.
You can also change races. There is a $10.00 fee unless transferring from the half to the 5K with a finisher medal. Then there is no refund for the difference.

What to expect
Written from race dataThe Hokie Half Marathon and 5K, returning on September 29, 2024, in Blacksburg, VA, offers runners a chance to experience the scenic charm of Virginia Tech's campus and surrounding areas. This event has a growing history, becoming a beloved tradition for both the local community and visiting runners. Participants can choose between the challenging Half Marathon or the more accessible 5K, with a virtual option available for those unable to attend in person, allowing for broader participation. Expect a course that largely winds through the picturesque Blacksburg landscape, incorporating both the lively Hokie-centric atmosphere of campus and the natural beauty of the region. The terrain is typically a mix of paved roads with some rolling hills, characteristic of the Appalachian foothills, so be prepared for varying inclines. While the exact route may evolve, past events have showcased iconic campus landmarks and quieter, scenic stretches, providing a rewarding running experience with a distinct Hokie spirit.
