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
