PEF hot to trot in Corporate Challenge

By DEBORAH A. MILES
In an effort to raise money for charity through the GHI Corporate Challenge run in Albany, the PEF team made an impressive showing at the May event which attracted 6,400 runners and walkers.

PEF’s team included Ed Aluck, Jennifer Richardson, Chris Allen, Will Case, Harold Eisenstein, Scott Goodspeed, Pam Gervais and Mario Bruni, in finishing order.

“Most of our team members finished in just a little more than 20 minutes, which is fantastic considering the male winner came in at 17 minutes, 15 seconds, and the female winner at 20 minutes, 16 seconds.” said PEF Secretary-Treasurer Arlea Igoe.

The participants started at the NYS Museum and ran the classic 3.5 miles through to Washington Park. The teams were from emerging nanotechs to established blue-chips, from school districts, colleges, hospitals, banks, law firms, government agencies and non-profits.

The NYS United Teachers also had a team running, but it couldn’t catch the fast feet of PEF. Nor could the team from the Governor’s Office of Employee Relations.

“We beat them by a lot. There were 230 teams entered and PEF came in 54th,” said Richardson, who organized the PEF team.

“This year, we brought back a tradition. It was a great day for a race, and exciting to interact with your co-workers and others.”

PEF also received a plaque as a corporate sponsor, which is displayed in the reception area at headquarters.
