CELEBRATING 20 YEARS: A unique promotion is in place to calculate the number of Corporate 5K miles’ local runners and 20 YEARS walkers have completed since 1995.  This year’s registrants are asked to calculate the number of years one has participated in Corporate 5k multiplied by 3.1 miles (5k distance) to equal the number of Corporate 5k Miles. Using a special downloadable bib number participants then can brag about this achievement by displaying this at their desks leading up to the event or wearing it proudly on race night. To date, it is estimated that Central Florida’s corporate community has run or walked 132,258 Corporate 5k Miles.
Other programs in place to engage local leadership and incentivize companies to participate include: The Tom Scalise Leadership Award for Workplace Wellness presented to the CEO/top manager that exemplifies workplace wellness. Nominations are accepted by employees and the winner is announced race night. The recipient receives a $1,000 donation to a local non-profit of choice that supports health and wellness.
Through a Winning Ways for Workplace Wellness program, company representatives contribute their wellness best practices through social media. One company per month is selected as a featured company for sharing their “winning ways” and receives catered lunch for 15 courtesy of Firehouse Subs.
