White Plains, New York (May 20, 2014) – The Corporate Cup 5k Summer Race Series, successfully re-started last year after a ten-year hiatus, returns to Westchester County this summer with a three-race series on the scenic perimeter road of the Purchase College, State University of New York campus.
Organized by the Westchester Track Club, the weeknight races will be held on Thursday, June 19; Thursday, July 24; and Wednesday, August 15; and will feature individual men’s, women’s and co-ed corporate team competitions. Runners can compete as individuals or as part of a team, but not both. Teams will be comprised of either three men, three women or a combination of two men and two women.
For each race, awards will be given to the top three men and women individual runners under 40; the top three men and women individual runners over 40; and the top three men’s, women’s and co-ed teams. The top awards will go to the teams and individuals that score the best cumulative times over the course of the three-race series. Walkers and runners not affiliated with a corporation are welcome to participate.
The series, which is a nonprofit event, is being underwritten by entry fees and the sponsorship of seven companies with a strong presence in the Westchester County business community: Heritage Realty Services, L.L.C., Dorian Drake International, Inc.; O’Connor Davies, LLP; Tommie Copper; Arthur J. Gallagher Risk Management; Citibank, N.A., and HOP Energy. All excess proceeds will go to the Westchester Continuum of Care, which provides shelter for Westchester’s homeless.
“These races offer participating companies a way to promote wellness and to get their folks together after work in a fun, team-building environment, “said Andy Kimerling, spokesperson of the Westchester Track Club. “It’s also an opportunity for participants to network with individuals from other Westchester businesses and to raise money for a worthy local cause.”
The races will begin at 6:30 p.m. at the starting line located by the entrance of the university’s gym. There will be two water stations along the race route plus food and refreshments at the finish line, where provisions will be donated by Heritage Realty Services, LLC.
