At the 2022 Syracuse WorkForce Run/Walk/Roll (formerly the J.P. Morgan Corporate Challenge), Syracuse University held the distinction of being the largest employer represented among dozens of local companies participating in the annual tradition.

Next month, University faculty and staff members will have the opportunity to reclaim that title and enjoy an evening of camaraderie, networking, food, fun and movement. Participants of all abilities and fitness levels are encouraged to join the Syracuse University team, captained for the second year by J. Cole Smith, dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science.

“Last year, Team Syracuse University was over 100 people deep. We enjoyed some beautiful weather and had a blast hanging out with coworkers from across the University before and after the race,” says Smith, pictured at right accepting the award for Largest Company Team. “Whether you’re an avid runner looking for a personal best time or just want to take a leisurely walk on the course with colleagues, I encourage you to join our team!”

New this year, everyone’s favorite mascot, Otto, will also be there to cheer on the Syracuse team—so if you’ve ever wanted to give them a high-five as you cross the finish line, here is your chance!

  • This year’s race begins at 6:45 p.m. on Tuesday, June 20, at Onondaga Lake Parkway in Liverpool.
