2010 CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge
Thursday, May 20, 2010
Start Time: 6:25 pm

Welcome!
The CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge is the Capital Region’s workforce team run and walk — and the largest annual road race between Utica and New York City. There were 7,715 runners and 434 participating companies/organizations in the 2009 race — a record turnout.

Since 1980, on one spring evening after work, thousands have gathered in historic downtown Albany for this classic 3.5 mile road race. From the CEO to the most recent hire, they come as colleagues and co-workers and friends to make up the teams that represent every enterprise in the Capital Region, including emerging nanotechs, established blue-chips, school districts, colleges, and hospitals, banks, law firms, from government agencies, and non-profits. They are our region's greatest resource.

At the start, as the teams line up on Madison Avenue, the atmosphere is electric with anticipation. With the singing of the national anthem, the throng grows still. Then the gun goes off! Up the hill explodes a colorful sea of participants. Running and walking, shoulder to shoulder, the teams of the Capital Region workforce team make their way through the historic Albany streets, navigate through Washington Park — the crown jewel of Albany — then return to a breathtaking downhill finish at the NYS Museum.

After the race at the Empire State Plaza participants receive their t-shirts, while music fills the air and refreshments abound. Exuberant teammates share their feats with their colleagues, report their times, and await the awards. Afterwards, the teams complete the evening at one of the city’s many fine dining establishments. It is a fulfilling day. Nice job!

Bring your Workforce Team and join the groups that make the Capital Region run.
