NEW YORK, Dec. 6, 2016 – The Spencer Educational Foundation announced that registration is now open for the third annual Spencer 5K FunRun presented by Sedgwick. Set along the picturesque backdrop of Lloyd Hall in Fairmount Park, the 2017 FunRun will commence on Tuesday, April 25, at 6:45 a.m. in Philadelphia during the RIMS 2017 Annual Conference & Exhibition. The event is presented by Sedgwick, the leading global provider of technology-enabled risk and benefits solutions, and will benefit the Foundation’s scholarships, internship grants and other experiential learning opportunities.
Participants can register individually or as a corporate team. Individual registration is $35 before Feb. 15 using the code EarlyRunner17 ($50 after that date) and can be accessed online. Team registration is $1,000 and provides entry into the new Corporate and CEO Cup races sponsored by Advisen.
“Three years ago, we set out to provide a healthy option at the annual RIMS conference, and the overwhelming enthusiasm and support from the risk management community for our event has been nothing short of remarkable,” said Jarrod Magan, race founder and director and vice president of client technology services and innovation at Sedgwick. “I consider it a privilege to be part of the team that has transformed this event into what it is today and, at the same time, support the future of our industry.”
“We appreciate Sedgwick’s continued support in presenting and growing this event; it has become a fun, competitive component of the RIMS conference,” said Ron Davis, chairman of the Spencer Educational Foundation, and executive vice president at Zurich. “The success of this event has a direct impact on the number of additional scholarships and grants we are able to award. Given the great sponsor support so far and the interest expressed by many people, we’re confident that individual and corporate participation will grow even stronger this year.”
