Racing with a Purpose
The CDPHP Workforce Team Challenge, a 3.5-mile road race through downtown Albany along Madison Avenue and around the Empire State Plaza, brings together runners, walkers, and supporters for an energizing and community-focused evening.
CDPHP, the Hudson-Mohawk Road Runners Club (HMRRC), and the United Way of the Greater Capital Region joined forces this year to make the week more impactful for our community than ever before-connecting community service with friendly competition. For every participant who both volunteered for 518 Day and registered for the race, the United Way of the Greater Capital Region donated $10 to the race’s Charities of Choice, amplifying the spirit of teamwork, giving, and community pride that defines these events.
Participants went beyond the race by taking part in 518 Day on May 18th, where hundreds of volunteers across the Capital Region supported local nonprofits through hands-on projects that strengthened our community. Thank you to everyone who participated, volunteered, and helped make this week such a meaningful success for our region.
