Runners wanted
Whether you last ran today at lunch or decades ago in gym class, Team Union wants you.
The 2001 J.P. Morgan Chase Corporate Challenge is Thursday, May 24, at 6:25 p.m. at the Empire State Plaza in Albany. This 3.5-mile road race is one of the largest running events in the Capital Region with athletes _ erstwhile and otherwise _ representing hundreds of local organizations.
The Union team has been a frequent “Top 10” finisher over the years, and consistently ranks among the top local educational institutions. More importantly, however, this event has been a great way to socialize with colleagues (and some Union people you may not know) to represent the College in a fun, low-key race followed by a “team banquet.” (We'll hit a pizza joint on the way home.)
Team Union welcomes all abilities, from walker to world class. The primary goal is to have a large number of employees (only full-timers are eligible) representing the College.
The race is run through Albany's Washington Park over the same course as the famous Freihoffer's Run for Women (plus .4 miles), to be held on Saturday, June 2.
Entry fee is $14. Applications are due May 9.
