6K Kougar Challenge

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!
