Amanda Maldonado, Associate Manager of Corporate Events, and Katherine-Anne Coronado, Activations Specialist are co-captains for the NBC Sports Next’s AdventHealth Corporate 5k Team! From run club to race day, these pros share how they are building community and promoting workplace wellness! What are some incentives or strategies your team uses to encourage participation in the Corporate 5K?

Our company promotes a monthly Run Club to help employees practice and prepare for the upcoming Corporate 5K while still promoting healthy lifestyle initiatives throughout the year.

Q. How do you use Corporate 5K for strategic business purposes?
A. We focus on building our community through sports and technology but also want our employees to get involved with improving their own lifestyle whether that be in work development or personal goals through healthy mental/wellness habits.

Q. Please share some of your company’s workplace wellness initiatives and the benefits you’ve seen from implementing a workplace wellness program.
A. - Our Monthly Run Club
- Monthly chair massages through Zeel with professional masseuses to help target recovery or stretching needs
- Annual yoga visits with professional instructors
- We offer multiple online and in-person health/wellness webinars to teach employees about living and creating healthy habits 

Q. Is there anything you’d like to share about your company's experience at the Corporate 5K? (e.g. your team's favorite memory of the event, your t-shirt design process, post-race party, etc.) 
A. Our company loves to participate in the Annual Corporate 5K as it helps to create team bonding and unity between internal employees throughout different departments, who may not get the opportunity to connect during business hours. It also helps to promote outdoor team activities while still getting an opportunity to network with other companies across Central Florida. At NBC Sports Next, we consistently lead by our core value that focuses on being Better Together. 

Q. What is one piece of advice you would give to a first-time Corporate 5K team?
A. It does not matter about the size of the team, make sure everyone stays hydrated, takes time to stretch, and remains aware of their physical limits. This will help ensure that everyone feels their best and has fun!!
