About the Race
Southern Virginia University gathers students from all around the United States, but many come from right here in Rockbridge County. This race is meant to foster that relationship between our local Knights and grow closer as a campus community: current, past, and future students.
All proceeds from this race will fund local student scholarships for students from Buena Vista, Lexington, and Rockbridge County areas.
