Yes, we came in 3rd ... and we couldn't be prouder.
Indium Corporation's headquarters, and several of our facilities, are in the Utica, NY, USA area. Utica is the home of the famous Boilermaker 15k road race. Runners come from around the world to compete and to have fun.
This year:
- 5,000 volunteers supported the race!
- 14,000 runners entered the 15k!
- 30,000 people lined the streets of Utica, cheering the runners on!
- 40,000 people attended the post-race party!
Nearly 25 of those runners came from The Indium Corporation. They ran individually, and as a team in the race's "Corporate Cup." The Corporate Cup is broken into categories - and we qualified for the "medium" size company grouping. This year our men placed 3rd in the Corporate Cup challenge. Pictured are many of our 2012 running team, a few days before the race.
After the race, our team captain, Mike "Wolfman" Dunn said,
"To Team Indium,
I want to personally congratulate all of you on a great job. As we all know, it was very humid out there, and once the sun came out, it got HOT!
I am pleased to announce that our Male Team finished in 3rd place this year for the CORPORATE CUP CHALLENGE!The Female Team finished in 6th place.
Congratulations on a job well done!!"
This event is all about community spirit, mutual support, and having a great time.
We met all our goals!
