BLACKSBURG, Va. (AP) - Many of those injured in the mass shootings at Virginia Tech two years ago plan to participate in arace in memory of the victims.
Fred Cook, who injured an ankle when he jumped out a classroom window to escape student gunman Seung-Hui Cho, is among at least
3,300 people who signed up for Thursday's race.
The 3.2-mile run in Blacksburg honors the 32 people killed April 16, 2007.
A noon ceremony on the main lawn of campus will honor the accomplishments of the 27 students and five faculty members killed.
Events also include an open house in a new peace center that occupies the classroom wing where Cho killed 30 people as well as
himself. A candlelight vigil as night falls will close out the memorials.
