LEXUS CORPORATE RUN ABOUT THE EVENT

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HISTORY

The Lexus Corporate Run is an institution in South Florida and is one of the
largest 5K races in the nation. It's hard to believe it began in 1985 as part of
the Manufacturers Hanover Corporate Challenge race series. Drawing in local
runners who were hooked on the benefits of running and keeping fit. Way back
then, there were just a few people that ran 5Ks or marathons and you could count
on one hand the companies that had health and wellness programs for their
employees. Though the first Miami Corporate Challenge had just 1,315
participants, local runners now had a fun event that they could share with their
co-workers and participation grew exponentially over time. In 2018, Miami alone
drew 28,265 participants and over 850 companies.

TeamFootWorks, the producers of the Lexus Corporate Run events, is proud of the
changes and growth of the event throughout its history. The Series broke the
10,000 participant mark in 1994 and surpassed 20,000 participants just three
short years later in 1997 and 30,000 in 2013! The Series constently has maximum
participation drawing 38,181 in 2017, 38,555 in 2018 and 37,367 in 2019. The
2020 events were held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. We
have rebounded back in 2021 and 2022 with in-person events following health
guidelines.


COMPANY PARTY

South Florida employees will tell you the fun times with co-workers at the Lexus
Corporate Run were better than the company's annual holiday party. Companies go
"all out" when planning their Corporate Run celebration. Fun, healthy food, good
drink, company T-shirts, and tent decorations are all part of the race night
experience. Many corporations invite companies they do business with (or would
like to do business with) to their tent for post-race refreshments! The fun,
healthy atmosphere always breeds good times as employees join together in what
is billed as the country's "Largest Office Party".


HEALTHY MESSAGE

The purpose of the Lexus Corporate Run is to promote running and walking as a
means to a fit, healthy lifestyle for people from all walks of corporate life.
Media sponsors help us foster community interest in the benefits of fitness and
camaraderie in the workplace, and encourage public participation throughout a
diverse community. A healthy employee makes a healthy company!

Studies show that workers who exercise have fewer sick days and maintain a
higher level of energy during the day. They are more productive in their work.
We believe that for every dollar spent on our health and fitness programs, three
dollars are saved on health care costs. Also, it adds value by improving
employee health and morale. Perhaps no other single event has aroused the health
consciousness of South Florida's corporate executives as much as the Lexus
Corporate Run.

These days a growing number of local companies are showing their commitment to
physical fitness by installing gyms and hiring exercise instructors. People can
see personal improvements resulting from simple fitness programs, such as
walking or running short distances regularly. These fitness programs provide
employees with a better outlook on life and helps them gain confidence.
Representatives from TeamFootWorks are invited to company health expos and
wellness centers to present employees with different fitness program options.
Companies understand that sometimes people need a little push to become involved
in fitness and the Lexus Corporate Run Series provides that push!


THE SERIES

The Lexus Corporate Run is made up of two individual 5K road races that are held
in the evening during the work week (Fort Lauderdale & Downtown Miami). The
Series spans a period of 30 days. Each Race offers unique opportunities to
communicate not only with 1,230+ South Florida companies, but with every tier of
employees and over 330 CEOs. All full and part-time employees are welcomed to
participate, from the mailroom staff to the CEO. All levels of fitness are
welcomed too. Beginners and walkers participate in the event, taking as much
time as needed to complete the 3.1 mile course while competitive runners have
the opportunity to shine amongst their co-workers and perhaps lead their
corporate team to victory!

For 2023 TeamFootWorks has moved the Ft. Lauderdale event to the FLA Live Arena,
since the previous location (Huizenga Plaza) is being redesigned and can no
longer host large events. And due to scheduling conflicts, TeamFootWorks will
not produce the Corporate Run in West Palm Beach for 2023.

Companies compete for top honors in 18 different industry categories. Awards go
to the overall male, female, and mixed teams. The top male, female, and mixed
team in each of the categories receives medals. Awards are also given for the
T-Shirt Contest winners and the largest team.
