Blacksburg Classic 10 Miler & 5K

The Blacksburg Classic 10 Miler & 5K feature rolling courses through Blacksburg, near the Virginia Tech campus, on roads and paved footpaths. All miles will be marked. Water will be available on both courses.

The 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 sprint to the finish) is on the Huckleberry Trail. For 2018, the 10 Miler will use the new trail that goes along South gate. So the first 6.9 miles are the same as in previous years, but the runners will turn around earlier and then when they get to the small tunnel (after going under 460 tunnel), they will go through the tunnel and follow the (new) bike path down to Southgate and then come up Chicken Hill and return back to Margaret Beeks.
