Providence Corporate Cup 5K Run/Walk

The Providence Corporate Cup is a 5K run/walk held in Downtown and Mid City Baton rouge that not only advocates wellness in the workplace but supports two great causes: Mid City Redevelopment and Big Buddy.

Race headquarters and Post-race party held at the newly renovated North Blvd. Town Square. The event offers a 3.1 mile course running through beautiful downtown and developing Mid City, four race divisions to suit the organization, awards to winners in each division, the Corporate Wellness Award, Fast 400, Company T-shirt design contest, Oldie but Goodie Award for the oldest male and female runners, food and fun, being fit, learning more about living longer and healthier, nutrition and building camaraderie with your team and friends, chip timing and more!

Chip Timing
Race bibs with timing chips will be REQUIRED for scoring. In other words, if all members of a team do not have bibs, then the member without a bib will not be scored for the team. Bibs will be assigned to all registered runners. Bibs are found in the race packets, which can be picked up the Thursday and Friday before race day.

See www.providencecorporatecup.com for more details.

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

In an effort to simplify the registration process for company employees, we have redesigned the registration page. If the company is paying for its employees' registrations and you would like to make only one payment either by check or by credit card for all  registrations, please contact Bertha Lanthier @ [email protected] to receive a Coupon Code to be used to track the registrations.  The company will then be sent an invoice to cover all the registrations used by the Coupon Code.
