>>ANCHOR: This time of year, Rochester-area athletes have their choice of quality races
to take part in, but there's an annual challenge coming up soon that's less about athletic
skill and more about building camaraderie and teamwork with co-workers. YNN's Leah George
joins us from Panarama Trail South with the latest.
>>REPORTER: Paychex one of more than 400 Rochester area companies registered to take part in
this year's JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge.
>>LAURIE ZAUCHA: It is something that our employees love to do. It supports our corporate
focus on wellness and ensuring that we have happy, healthy, active employees in our workforce.
>>REPORTER: Paychex employees have participated in 17 of the 22 Corporate Challenges held
in Rochester. Those who've run or walked the 3.5-mile course at RIT in the past have different
reasons for signing up, year after year.
>>MATT DANIELS: Running with people I know and meeting new people from Paychex I don't
know. The fun of it is the biggest thing for my and it's a good challenge a good fitness
goal for me too.
>>YOSEPHA FREEMAN: It's amazing to see 10,000 people in one place with all their company
tents and you can visit your friends or you can come back to your tent. We have dinner
we have pre race snacks before it we have dinner after it's just a great evening all
together.
>>REPORTER: This year's Corporate Challenge is scheduled to start at 7 p.m. on Thursday
May 31st. If the weather cooperates, organizers are expecting a record crowd of more than
11,300 people. Registration for the Corporate Challenge is now closed, but people are encouraged
to come out and cheer on the teams. Reporting from Panarama Trail, Leah George, YNN.
