Two years running
2026 Top Adventure College
Thank you to everyone who supported Radford University throughout every round of the competition! For the second year in a row, Radford has earned the title of Top Adventure College from Blue Ridge Outdoors and it's easy to see why. From hikes and river paddles to weekends biking the trails, Highlanders know how to make the most of the outdoors. Here’s to another year of finding adventure!
