MJ Participates in CDPHP Team Workforce Challenge

Team MJ participated in the 2016 CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge, a 3.5-mile race that took place on Thursday, May 19th at the Empire State Plaza in downtown Albany. 10,000 runners, walkers, and volunteers from hundreds of organizations throughout the area gathered with their co-workers to take part in the largest annual road race in the Capital Region.

The event is organized by, and serves as the major fundraiser for, the Hudson Mohawk Road Runners Club (HMRRC). The funds raised help underwrite many of HMRRC’s activities and services, including college scholarships, grants, running clinics, and the Just Run Program that encourages grade school children to run for exercise and fun. CDPHP is now in its seventh year as the primary sponsor of this event.

Each year, in conjunction with the race, HMRRC and CDPHP select charities of choice, each of which receives a donation from CDPHP, as well as direct contributions from race participants. This year's charities of choice were the Girls on the Run Capital Region and Schenectady ARC.
