Competitive 5K Run
Fun-5K Run/Walk/Ride
Description
The Paychex Conference 5K is going virtual this year, which means all runners/walkers/bike riders are welcome!
Besides helping support Feeding America, why should you participate in the Virtual 5k?
- A COMPLIMENTARY T-SHIRT! [if you registered before the deadline of September 3rd] That is reason enough right there!
- Tradition- we can’t give up the tradition just because we can’t be together!
- Fun! It feels good to accomplish something, to be outside and active!
- You get to create your own course! Get imaginative- find a trail, track, or run through a beautiful park! Think of the selfies! (Post on social media & tag us using #PaychexProud and #PaychexConference2020)
- Find your favorite colleague or family member and social distance your way through your run/walk/ride.
- Once this is all over, you can brag that during Covid-19, you participated in a Virtual 5K at the Paychex Virtual Conference.
And most importantly, you will be helping support a great cause!
Paychex is Racing to Help Fight Against Hunger!
As you know, at Paychex we believe that part of celebrating our success is giving back to others in need. It is part of our values and part of who we are. Now in its 7th year, our Sales Conference 5K is an annual event where we come together to have fun while also raising funds for a worthy organization.
During the challenging times we are experiencing in our country, millions of children and families living in our local communities face hunger and food insecurity every day. With this in mind, we have chosen Feeding America as the beneficiary of our Annual Paychex Virtual 5K fundraiser.
Feeding America is a United States-based non-profit organization that supplies more than 200 food banks in the U.S. They are responsible for feeding 46 million people through food pantries, soup kitchens, shelters and other community-based agencies.
