29 March 2008: The 2008 Blacksburg Classic started off cloudy, but by race time had terrifc running weather. The turnout was smaller than in past years as there were two races in town — both attracting hundreds. This past Saturday could have been the largest number of runners actually racing in Blacksburg history (over 600) when combining the two events.

24 February 2007: Waking up Sunday morning in an ice covered world, made me realize how fortunate we had been with the weather for the Blacksburg Classic the day before. It could hardly have been nicer. There was no wind to speak of and the sun, not hindered by any clouds, warmed all, making it feel warmer than the 50 degrees it became by mid afternoon. The great weather made many decide that running would be a fun thing to do, and race-day sign-ups were plentiful. The field of 5K and 10 Mile runners grew by nearly 150 race-day entrants; a total of 361 runners finished either the 5K or 10 Mile race. The fun run too saw quite a run-day addition, to about 30.
