Join the Syracuse University Wellness Initiative—and everyone’s favorite mascot, Otto!—on Tuesday, June 10, at 6:45 p.m. for the Syracuse WorkForce Run at Onondaga Lake Parkway.
The annual 5K event features a relatively flat, down-and-back course [PDF] and is a great opportunity to bond with your coworkers, enjoy some friendly competition and promote wellness among faculty and staff.
“In 2022 and 2023, Syracuse University earned the distinction of having the largest team at the event among the dozens of local companies that participate,” says Molly Morgan, associate director, of health and wellness for faculty and staff. “This year, we are looking to regain that title with an incredible showing of our faculty and staff. We encourage employees of all abilities and fitness levels to come out for an evening of fun, movement, socializing and meeting new people from across the University!”
Participants gather for a group photo at the 2024 Syracuse WorkForce Run.
To help recruit additional colleagues from your office or department, download and print this year’s WorkForce Run flyer [PDF] and hang it around your workspace.
The Syracuse WorkForce Run is for eligible employees of the University; however friends and family are welcome to join by registering as an individual participant, paying the full race fee of $55 and picking up their own race packet.
Parking is available at NBT Bank Stadium and shuttle bus service is provided. The Syracuse WorkForce Run website has detailed parking information and answers to frequently asked questions.
The event is also a fundraiser, with this year’s event benefiting Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central New York, a nonprofit that provides a temporary home for families with seriously ill children who travel to the region for medical care.
