May 11 is the date, and Montpelier is the place! The Vermont Corporate Cup Challenge and State Agency Race is a 5 kilometer 3-person team running/walking event open to businesses, government and non-profit organizations in Vermont. The purpose of this event is to promote physical fitness within the workplace and at home by bringing employees together to enjoy and experience the benefits of fitness. This event is celebrating its 40th anniversary and takes place in Montpelier each year in early May. The state house lawn is jubilant as participants mingle along with their friends and families while music plays before the start of the race. In the late afternoon on May 11, excitement builds as racers proceed to the start line and fans line the streets to cheer one and all on to the finish! It's just plain fun for folks!
There are several opportunities for participation:
• Put together a running, race-walking or walking team with your colleagues at work and enjoy a fun afternoon of comradery with your co-workers.
• Volunteer! This is a large race, and many hands make for light work throughout the day. For your efforts, you'll receive our volunteer t-shirt and food fortification!
• Really want to help? We are looking for a volunteer coordinator, a paid position ($1500 stipend) that involves reaching out to community members, agencies and businesses for approximately 200+ volunteers for various race day duties and then coordinating their assignments, with a few reminders prior to race day. You will be provided guidance by the race director and assistant race director, with assistance from other members of the planning committee with responsibilities for various components of the race (registration, t-shirts, race course, start/finish lines, etc.).
The proceeds from the race benefit the programs and events of the Vermont Governor's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports, including: Vermont Senior Games; Community Wellness Grants; Worksite Wellness Awards & Conference; Parks Rx; Fit and Healthy Kids and the annual Vermont Corporate Cup Challenge and State Agency Race. It's a fun event that supports health and fitness throughout Vermont!
