Move at Your Own Pace—Reunion Style!
We’re kicking off Reunion 2025 with a little fresh air and good company at our Reunion Crawl, Walk, & Run!
Taking place the morning of May 20th along the beautiful James River, this event is a casual gathering and our version of a 5k—i.e., not a race—and designed for all Reunion guests who want to start the day with a little movement and a lot of camaraderie.
Participants will have a choice between a 2-mile walk or a 4-mile jog/run along some of downtown Richmond's most scenic views.
We’ll begin check-in at the Virginia War Memorial, where our volunteers—known as Reunion Rangers—will greet you. Every participant will receive a special Crawl, Walk, & Run tee shirt as a keepsake of the event.

The spirit behind Crawl, Walk, & Run is twofold:
It's a nod to the steady, incremental approach we believe builds the strongest foundations at Markel Group— crawling, walking, then running (i.e., compounding) toward our long-term goals.
It’s a simple way to bring everyone together at the start of the Reunion in the spirit of movement, connection, and fun.
After the walk or run, we'll have coffee, guilt-free, post-walk/run donuts, and waters waiting for you.
Important details:
Check-in opens at 6:00 a.m. at the Virginia War Memorial/ 621 S. Belvidere Street.
