🎉 Richmond's Biggest Office Party 🎉
2026 Markel Corporate Run
2026 Virtual Markel Corporate Run
💼 Markel Corporate Run
The Markel Corporate Run is the perfect opportunity to engage your team members by getting together to run or walk (we have a lot of walkers) a 5k and finish with RVA’s biggest networking event and office party.
This event is a one-of-a-kind networking opportunity! Teams are treated to a pre-race warm-up before the 5k begins. Following the run or walk, individuals can head into the Hirschler Post Race Office Party to cash in their drink ticket for a complimentary beer, hard seltzer, or NA beer. To top it all off, a DJ is responsible for keeping the crowd pumped before, during, and after the 5k!

Fit4Kids is making healthy fun at more than 50 schools each year across six local school districts through their innovative programs.
