    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!

    It’s all about getting active, reconnecting, and promoting a healthier lifestyle as we prepare to celebrate 30 years of Kougar pride.

    2 Challenge Levels:

    Level 1: Build up to a 6K (3.7 miles)

    Level 2: Push to a 9K (5.6 miles) — because we didn’t just graduate in ’96, we owned it.

    It’s been 30 years since we walked across that stage…

    Now it’s time to walk around the block — so we can still be around in another 30

    We celebrated 30 years since graduation — let’s walk into the next 30 with fewer pills and more steps!

    Meet Up #1 will be held on Saturday, September 6, 2025 at 9am at Vita Park located in Byrd Park 2701 Police Memorial Way Richmond, VA 23220

    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 Ledwith & Cameron Hopper

    Run with purpose! The LSA Charity Run (5K/10K) helps provide school supplies, food, and fun for children in Latine countries.

    Every single dollar goes directly to the children. Join us for a race that’s more than miles, it’s movement with meaning!
