Team Up to Stay Active

To encourage employees to get outside and enjoy some physical activity on the weekends and afterhours, Glidewell Laboratories, Irvine, CA, organizes softball, basketball and flag football teams and also various walks and runs, including the Gladiator Mud Run, Wet ’n Wild Run, Color Run, Race for a Cure and the Heart Walk. “Our running and walking teams usually range anywhere from 15 to 45 employees, and we open it up to family and friends to join, too,” says Christina Scofield, Health and Wellness Manager. At last month’s Susan G. Komen Orange County Race for the Cure, the lab paid the $35 fee for each employee and covered the cost of team T-shirts and a tent with snacks for participants.
