Blacksburg's Signature Fall Running Event

Experience the beauty of autumn in the New River Valley with a challenging course and incredible crowd support.

Hokie Half Marathon and 5K

The Hokie Half Marathon takes you on a journey through the scenic roads of Blacksburg, Christiansburg and the surrounding countryside via the Huckleberry Trail. Our course features rolling hills that test your endurance while entertaining you with live music, great course support, and amazing swag!

The 5K offers a shorter course all within the Virginia Tech Corporate Research Center. Good food, music and a great atmosphere! Both courses are fully supported by water stations, enthusiastic volunteers, and crowds that show up to cheer you on every mile.

Whether you are chasing a personal best or simply want to enjoy a beautiful fall morning, this race delivers an experience you will not forget.

More Than a Race. A Community Celebration

The Hokie Half is not just about miles. It is about the people who line the streets to cheer, the volunteers who make sure you have what you need, and the runners who share the road with you. We built this event to celebrate our community and the sport we love. Whether you are a Hokie alum, a local resident, or traveling from out of town, you will feel the energy from start to finish. Come for the race and stay for the celebration.
