YMCA Corporate Cup 5K Run/Walk
The YMCA Corporate Cup 5K Run/Walk is an annual event held in Downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The race takes place near the Cane’s River Center on South River Road, utilizing a 3.1 mile course through the city. The event is designed to promote wellness in the workplace and foster camaraderie among colleagues and friends.
Participants can register for several different categories:
- 5K Run/Walk (Individual Open Division)
- Fun Team Competition (4 members per team)
- Corporate Team Divisions 1-4 (Based on number of employees)
The corporate divisions are categorized by company size, ranging from small businesses with 1 to 50 employees to large organizations with over 250 employees. Specific team compositions are required for corporate scoring, typically including at least one male, one female, and one member over the age of 40.
Race headquarters are situated at the Riverfront Plaza, which also hosts the post-race activities. These activities include a cook-off challenge where participants can sample food, a family area with face painting, and a line dancing segment. Awards are presented in various categories, including overall winners, age-specific masters divisions, and the Corporate Wellness Award. The event is chip-timed, and strollers and wheelchair athletes are permitted on the course. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
