2016 Recap: Start of Something Big

While last night’s IOA Corporate 5k seemed like a big-time race in downtown, it didn’t start out that way. In 1995, there were about 2000 runners and walkers which was considered a big local race at the time. It’s great that so many companies have continued to participate since that first year.  IOA is one company that comes to mind.  

Fast forward to the 22nd IOA Corporate 5k, a picture-perfect night at Lake Eola where 700 companies gathered in the heart of the city celebrating running, walking, camaraderie at work and community caring.  It’s thrilling to see the corporate community respond by in contributing 24,000+ meals to Second Harvest Food Bank and the Christian Service Center. Read More >>
