Our History:TeamFootWorks, producer of the 2009 Mercedes-Benz Corporate Run, is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization committed to fitness education through the production of events and educational materials. Its overall mission is to involve people in physical activity through education, excitement and fun. TeamFootWorks has organized and produced the Corporate Run for over twenty years, with one goal in mind: to promote lifelong fitness at all levels and encourage camaraderie in the workplace through healthy, happy employees. Since its inception in 1985, the Corporate Run has grown to include over 25,000 participants through its series in Ft. Lauderdale, West Palm Beach and Miami. Hans and Laurie Huseby, who have been producing running events in Miami for the past thirty years, provide encouragement and support to beginners and running elite alike with training and educational programs throughout the year.
Our Event:TeamFootWorks’ races are renowned for their quality, which is why the Miami Corporate Run has become the largest 5K in Florida, and the third largest in the United States. This will be the 22nd year that we have produced the Miami Corporate Run and the 9th year for the Ft. Lauderdale Corporate Run. We are proud to include a West Palm Beach event for the 3rd straight year. The Corporate Run is a 3.1 mile road race/walk open to employees of corporations, government agencies and financial institutions. The event occurs on a weekday night after business hours. Each company may enter an unlimited number of participants. Unlike most running events, there is no individual scoring—instead, employees form teams and compete within their corporate categories. All levels of runners are encouraged to come out and join their fellow employees. Companies may rent tents at the event to serve as a pre-race meeting point and post-race office party—fostering co-worker goodwill that is carried back to the office the next day and beyond.
Our Charity:Every day, your local Red Cross staff and volunteers are helping families and individuals prevent, prepare for and recover from disaster. For nearly a century, the American Red Cross South Florida Region, a non-profit humanitarian organization, has offered health and safety programs, disaster relief, international services and service to the armed forces to the residents of Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe Counties. All of the services provided by the American Red Cross are made possible through the generosity of individuals and community partners. The American Red Cross is not a government agency and relies on the goodwill of the community to fulfill its humanitarian mission. Your contribution can ensure that the Red Cross will always be ready to respond to our neighbors in need. For more information on how you can help your community by volunteering or donating, please visit www.sflredcross.org.
The Series:The Series is made up of 3 individual races (Miami, Ft. Lauderdale & West Palm Beach) that span a month. Each Race offers unique opportunities to communicate not only with 800+ South Florida companies, but every tier of employee and over 700 CEOs. Employees look forward to the event all year. Team Captains coordinate race registration for their companies—some with as many as 1500 people.
