A corporate running program offers more than just physical fitness — it’s a powerful way to improve team dynamics, foster personal development and enhance workplace performance.

In our decade+ of running successful corporate programs in the Metropolitan DC area, we’ve seen corporate running programs improve culture, overall health and workplace relationships. 

Whether your employees are seasoned runners or beginners, a structured running program helps build healthy habits, reduces stress and creates a positive, energetic work environment. 

What to expect in your corporate running program

We work with wellness departments and committees within corporations and nonprofits to help improve employee morale through group training, reduce healthcare-related costs and promote general health and well-being. 

Whether your organization is interested in a one-time or series of running-related presentations or a comprehensive training program, we tailor our services to your organizations’ needs.

  • We work with you to design a program that is right for the organization, based on employees’ level and availability. 
  • Training programs are typically 8-10 weeks in duration and target a specific goal race.
  • Training can be tailored to both beginner and advanced runners, with beginners building endurance and more experienced runners focusing on speed work.
  • Programs are based on the principles of progressive overload, injury prevention and personalized attention. 
  • Employers are encouraged to select a goal race for participants to complete at the end of the program. Corporate clients often choose a race so that employees can participate as a team. We can help the organization and/or individual runners select a goal race, and can often negotiate a reduced team entry fee. 
  • We encourage companies to provide team running shirts for employees participating in the program or race to reinforce “team spirit” and provide visibility for the company.

Key benefits of corporate running programs:

Running together breaks down silos and builds camaraderie, encouraging teamwork and communication across departments.

Exercise is a proven stress reliever, helping employees manage workloads and stay mentally resilient.

Healthier, happier employees are more engaged and productive, contributing to a stronger overall work environment.

A shared fitness goal strengthens company culture, while giving employees a sense of belonging and accomplishment.
