About the Providence Corporate Cup

Originally established in 1985 by Rolfe McCollister, Jr., publisher of the Baton Rouge Business Report, the Corporate Cup event is an annual run/walk where thousands of runners and walkers from hundreds of companies in the Greater Baton Rouge area come together to celebrate corporate wellness, camaraderie, and community fellowship for a fun-filled morning. Providence Engineering and Environmental Group LLC (Providence) is proud to have brought back this most popular event, now as a non-profit event.  As proven by the overwhelming participation in the 2008 "comeback" race, the spirit of togetherness is alive and well!

The Providence Corporate Cup 5k Run/Walk includes competition in four divisions for participating corporate teams, as well as the open division which consists of runners/walkers that are not necessarily associated with a corporation.

What teams and runners can look forward to again this year:

• A 3.1-mile course running through beautiful downtown and developing Mid City Baton Rouge
• Four race divisions to suit your organization
• Award to overall winners in each division
• Corporate Wellness Program Award
• Corporate Participation Competition
• "Fast 400" Awards
• "Oldie but Goodie" Award for oldest male and female
• "Future CEO Award" for the youngest male and female
• Company T-shirt Design Contest
• Tent Decorating Contest
• Food and fun, being fit, learning more about living longer and healthier, nutrition, and building camaraderie with your team and friends

Participation is not limited to competitors only; many companies have on-site tent locations for their employees, business associates, family, and friends just to be a part of the community-driven event.

FREE food, drink, musical entertainment, and other amenities are provided to ALL participants at the post-race party.

Proceeds from the race are donated to the Big Buddy Program and the Mid City Redevelopment Alliance.
