Thank you so much for your interest in this Hokie Hike. This event has hit capacity, but we invite you to schedule your own Hokie Hike and share your experience on social media using the hashtag “#HokieHike”. Go Hokies!
The D.C. Metro Area Alumni Chapter and Cornerstone Alumni are co-hosting an in-person Hokie Hike at Riverbend Park in Great Falls.
Join avid Hokie hikers Deb '77 and Dennis '76 McDonald for an autumn walk along the banks of the Potomac River. The trails are well maintained, easy-to-moderate in difficulty, and have gorgeous views of the river. The hike will be approximately three miles with options depending on ability and accessibility needs. Entrance is free and parking plentiful. All ages of alumni, family, friends and fans are encouraged! (No pets, please).
Registration with the Hokie Hike is also encouraged so do so before October 19 to ensure your Hokie swag arrives in time! In the event of inclement weather, we will have to cancel so please provide your most accessible email and phone at registration.
If you have any questions about the event, please contact Deb (dsmcd55@me.com) or Dennis (ddmcdonald1@verizon.net) McDonald. Registration questions? Contact Michele Messner at mmessner@vt.edu or 540-231-0510.
