5 Reasons You Should Sign Up for the CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge
The CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge is a 3.5-mile walk/run on Thursday, May 21, at 6:25 p.m. at the Empire State Plaza. It costs $5 to join Team Russell Sage College (Thrive@ Russell Sage will cover the rest!)
If you aren't familiar with this event, employees at companies and organizations from throughout the Capital Region participate. You don't have to be a runner to take part. Lots of people walk the course, and it's a great way to see Albany on foot!
Worried about parking? A group of us walk to the starting line from the Albany campus. Or, you can see Kathy McLaughlin and Mary Beth Cusack to learn about all the secret parking spots.
Here are five reasons you should participate:
- Who doesn't want to pick up an extra 8,000 steps?
- The team t-shirt will be a collector's item for years to come. (See photo above.)
- Siena and RPI always have large teams, and Sage was an early adopter nationally in the concept of health-promoting campuses. So we've got a reputation to maintain.
- You get a second Workforce Team Challenge t-shirt and snacks after you cross the finish line.
- You get to know your campus colleagues better by participating, and we're a fascinating bunch of people, if we do say so ourselves.
Register for the Workforce Challenge if only for the t-shirt.
