Jacksonville, FL – On May 19, 2016 Nivel Parts particpated in the 5K Corporate run hosted by the city of Jacksonville. Held at Metro Park in downtown Jacksonville, the 3.2 mile journey hosts over 4,000 participants annually. Running for a cause, the yearly event was held to benefit Duval County High School Cross Country and Track Programs. Providing a fun way for local businesses and corporations to help support students of the greater Jacksonville area, the 5K has also become an annual affair for employees at Nivel Headquarters.
Billed as the la
rgest office party in Jacksonville, the run included a post-race party complete with live music, free beverages and free food. Team Awards, Individual Awards, Team Spirit Awards, CEO Competition and T-Shirt Contest Awards were all given out at the conclusion of the race. In addition, all participants received a free t-shirt for coming out to the event.
Attendance this year boasted an impressive turnout, in spite of the deluge Mother Nature brought the evening of the event. Runners faced a downpour at the start of the race, and subsequent muggy conditions. One runner commented, “It was like running through mud, it was tough!”
However, Team Nivel’s spirits were not dampened. A group of 20+, employees along with their significant others, braved the inclement weather to participate in the annual run. Runners got into the spirit of the event by sporting their Nivel blue t-shirts and other fun accessories. Whether running or walking, a good time was had by all.
