Richmond's Biggest Office Party
The Markel Corporate Run has it all! Promote health in the workplace, build corporate pride, or just get outdoors with friends! Whether you join us at the Innsbrook Office Park or take part virtually, we invite you to run, walk, network, and have fun at the Markel Corporate Run on June 5!
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 or wine. To top it all off, a DJ is responsible for keeping the crowd pumped before, during, and after the 5k!
