The Run Across Virginia

The run is 157 hard miles of up and downhill climbs, twists and turns. We will be running on back roads for the safety of the runners. The run will pass through a number of cities and towns along the way to Blacksburg. The participants in the run are the brothers of the Virginia Tech and University of Virginia Chapters of Phi Gamma Delta. Each runner will run anywhere from one mile to three miles at a time along the way before passing the ball on to the next runner. Advertisements for sponsors will be on the sides of a bus carrying the runners, as well as on the jerseys worn by the brothers. The run will take two days. We will leave UVA exactly twenty four hours before the scheduled starting time of the UVA vs. Va Tech football game. The game is currently scheduled for November 25th. The run will end with the presentation of the game ball at Lane Stadium in Blacksburg in time for the kickoff. There will also be a check presentation before the game where a representative from The Jimmy V Foundation will accept the money raised from the Run.
