Races

This year, we’re challenging every Kougar to step up, get active, and celebrate Next year we will be 30 years strong — one stride at a time! In honor of our graduation year, the “Step Up for ’96” Challenge invites all classmates to walk or run toward a 6K — and for those who want a bigger goal, stretch up to 9K! Whether you start with short walks or are ready to sprint, this is a chance to get moving, stay healthy, and help raise funds for our unforgettable 30th reunion. What’s the 6K/9K Run-Walk All About? This isn’t a race — it’s a celebration! The goal is to enjoy the journey with classmates, friends, and family. Over the next year, we’re encouraging everyone to walk, jog, or run at their own pace — building up to a 6K or 9K by Reunion Day on June 6, 2026. To make it even more fun, we’re exploring the idea of hosting a few group 6K meetups at different locations throughout the year — so classmates, friends, and family can join together, stay motivated, and cheer each other on!

Plan to join the Richmond Road Runners Club's Advanced 10K Training (A10K) to achieve that sub-60 minutes personal record in a 10K race during Spring 2026.    This 12 week program is designed for intermediate to advanced runners with a goal of completing a 10K race in less than one hour. First session is Saturday, January 24 @ 8:00 AM.   In support of our runners' ambitions, A10K Training provides a defined range of weekly volume for both the intermediate or advanced runner supplemented with detailed pacing guidance for tempo and track workouts. A10K group training includes Saturday morning tempo runs and at-home track workouts.   A10K participants should plan to show ups for the first scheduled run with a respectable mileage base - at least 15-20 miles per week for 1-2 months before the program starts. The first week of the plan calls for 20-25 miles or running. Going from 0 miles to 25 miles in the first week of training is strongly discouraged.   2026 Head Coaches: Jamie
