is the main page for the 20th Annual
Blacksburg Classic 10
Mile & 5K. This race is put on by the Blacksburg Striders running
club.
Any news or announcements will be made on this page. The other pages,
accessed through the buttons above, lead to detailed information about
the race, course descriptions and maps for the two distances that are
offered and results (once they become available). A downloadable entry form is available here. The race courses utilize residential roads and a greenway, the Huckleberry trail. The 5K is run through a neighborhood and enters the trail after two miles. From thereon, all but the final 200 yards is on the trail. The 10 Mile follows the 5K course through the neighborhood, adds on some more residential running, before entering the Huckleberry trail at around 4 miles. The remaining 6 miles (except for the final stint to the finish) is on the Huckleberry Trail. The picture at the top is taken on the 10 Mile course. A 1 Mile Fun Run/Walk is held before the start of the 10 Mile & 5K. The race organization offers monetary awards in both races, as well as age group awards and many doorprizes. The awards are handed out as soon as possible after the corresponding race has finished. Runners can enjoy pizza and other good food after their finish. This race would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, many of whom have been with the race for many years. In particular we are pleased that Montgomery Regional Hospital continues to be the major sponsor for the Blacksburg Classic. |
