GOACC Announces 16th Annual Southern Tier Corporate Challenge in Olean
The popular wellness event returns June 25 with a 5k run, fun walk, food trucks, awards, and Olean’s “Largest Office Party”
OLEAN - The Greater Olean Area Chamber of Commerce is excited to announce the 16th Annual Southern Tier Corporate Challenge, presented by Mallery’s Auto Body & Collision. Registration is now open for the 5k Run/2.1 Mile Fun Walk, taking place on Thursday, June 25 at 6:00pm at JCC Olean Campus.
This exciting event promises an evening full of wellness, fun, and community spirit. Afterwards is Olean’s “Largest Office Party,” where participants can celebrate their hard work with post-race food and refreshments from Member food trucks and restaurants.
Last year, over 1,100 people joined the event, with runners coming as far as from Buffalo!
Participants can expect a professionally timed 5k run, thanks to equipment sponsored by Mallery’s Auto Body & Collision, where runners can compete for recognition, awards, and office bragging rights. Special thanks to Course Sponsors, CCB and Sol Epoxy.
Not a runner? That’s fine, too! Those who choose not to run can enjoy a leisurely stroll with friends and colleagues in the non-timed Fun Walk. If you’d like to enjoy the event but cannot participate in either, GOACC is always looking for volunteers to help direct runners, hand out water, or work registration.
Teams made up of employees of GOACC Member businesses should enter the Corporate Division. Public participants who aren't employed by a GOACC Member business are able to register as individuals or on their own Community Team. Hybrid teams will also join the Community Division. The minimum age to participate in either the run or walk is 16.
Registration will remain open until the race starts. To register, visit www.OleanNY.com/challenge. GOACC will be offering early packet pickup for large teams again this year, with more information on that process to come. It is highly encouraged that large teams name a team captain to participate in early packet pick-up and hand out their bibs prior to race day to bypass any confusion and prolonged wait time at registration.
GOACC Member pricing through June 23 is $26 per participant, then $30 on race day. Non-member pricing through June 23 is $31 per participant, then $35 on race day. Participants will receive a complimentary food voucher and one free beverage ticket (with proof of legal age) with their official race bib, and complimentary waters throughout the event.
All participants will be IDed at registration before they are given their wristband, sponsored by Fox Financial, and beverage ticket. Additional beverage tickets will be available for sale.
Register as a team and have each member pay individually online, or for larger teams, contact GOACC at 716-372-4433 or Events@OleanNY.com for a promo code.
GOACC is excited to once again bring member businesses and the community together for this premier wellness event. We can’t wait to see you there!
