Bob and Sue Duncan Memorial 5k
Saturday, April 6, 2024
9 a.m. - Check-in, 10:00 a.m. - Race begins
The Duncan 5K is a race in honor of the late Dr. Bob Duncan, a pathology professor here at Virginia Tech who passed away suddenly in May of 2007. Dr. Bob Duncan was an avid runner, dedicated pathologist, and highly regarded teacher. In his memory, Dr. Sue Duncan and VMCVM’s pathology department established a scholarship fund to support a fourth-year student who shows interest in the field of veterinary pathology. Every penny raised from the 5K goes towards the scholarship.
Sadly, on October 12, 2022 his wife, Dr. Sue Duncan, a well loved professor, and researcher in the Virginia Tech College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, passed away. Now we honor both Drs. Bob and Sue Duncan.
This event is hosted by the VMCVM Student Chapter of the American College Of Veterinary Pathologists.
