The Providence Corporate Cup Run/Walk includes thousands of athletes participating each year as individuals or teams on a 5k (3.1 mile) race course. Hundreds of companies throughout our community participate, and many companies have on-site tent locations for their employees, business associates, and friends. FREE food, drink, musical entertainment, and other amenities are provided to ALL participants at the post-race party.
As in the past, the 2010 race route will unite Baton Rouge Downtown and Mid City. Proceeds from the race will be donated to the Big Buddy Program and the Mid City Redevelopment Alliance.
This year, timing chips will be REQUIRED for scoring. In other words, if all members of a team do not have timing chips, then the member without a chip will not be scored for the team. Chips will be available for all registered runners.
Each runner must pick up his/her own chip by presenting his/her race number at the chip table, located near the corner of North Boulevard and Fourth Street. Chips will ONLY be given to individuals (i.e. no group pick-up for teams).
Chips will be collected in the finish line chute immediately after crossing. Lost chips or those not returned will be charged a $5.00 fee.
Participant packets will be available on April 15 - 16, 2010, from 11:00am to 6:00pm at the C.B. Pennington, Jr. Conference Center (near the back of the complex) at 6400 Perkins Road, Baton Rouge, LA.
Please also join us for EXERCISE: SEPARATING TRUTH FROM FICTION by Dr. Timothy Church on Friday, April 16, 2010 at 8:00am and at 12:00pm at the C.B. Pennington, Jr. Conference Center.
Each runner receives a 22nd Annual Providence Corporate Cup T-shirt and race number. Additionally, coffee mugs and race socks are given to the first 1,000 registrants to pick up their race packets.
Over 50 awards will be presented at the post-race party. In addition to the coveted Corporate Wellness Award, other categories include:
