Maxim Race to End Hunger 2017

Again this year as the finale of the Second Harvest Food Drive, Maxim will host a 5k/1 mile “Race to End Hunger” fundraiser on Friday, November 17 at 2:30pm. The race will take place right here on the Maxim campus—starting and ending in the HQ courtyard.

All employees are encouraged to participate, whether you’re a seasoned runner out to set a 5k record, or a casual walker looking for a mile of fresh air, or anything in between. Each participant will receive a race t-shirt and finisher medal. All we ask is that you donate at least $20 to the Second Harvest Food Bank during Maxim’s Virtual Race on November 14-16.

Register by November 5 to guarantee a personalized race bib, medal, and t-shirt in your preferred size. Registration will remain open until race day, but these items will not be guaranteed.

Our professional race partner will be keeping time for both the 5k and 1 mile fun run. There will be three chances to win in the 5k race.

Race competitions:

• Highest Org Participation (percent of org located at HQ)
• Fastest Team* (fastest 5-person team; scores will be adjusted for age and gender)
• Fastest Fundraising Team* (fastest 5-person team; scores adjusted for fundraising donation – each $1 you donate during the Virtual Race reduces your time by 1 second; participation in one of the SHFB food sort events reduces your time by 2 minutes; adjusted time cannot go negative)

*Teams will consist of 5 members each. To compete as a team, register with your team name on this site. If you already registered without a team, but wish to build one, please email Eric Johnson with your desired team name and the names of your 5 members

Volunteers Needed:
We also need ~20 volunteers to make race day run smoothly. If you’d like to help, sign up as a volunteer by clicking the tab on the left.

Note: shirt sizes run small. If in doubt, size up.
