Get ready to join your colleagues, friends, and family for the CBIZ Workplace Challenge, a spirited 3.5-mile run/walk held on Tuesday, July 28, 2026. This impactful event takes place at the scenic Jones Beach State Park in Wantagh, NY, offering a fantastic opportunity for team building and community engagement.
More than just a race, the CBIZ Workplace Challenge is renowned as "Long Island's biggest office picnic," fostering camaraderie and networking among participants from corporations, non-profits, and governmental agencies. The relatively flat 3.5-mile course is well-supported with water stops strategically placed at miles 1, 2, and 3, as well as before the start and after the finish line, ensuring runners and walkers stay hydrated. Mile markers are provided every half-mile to help you track your progress. Typical race day conditions in late July feature highs around 82°F and lows around 61°F, with a 20% chance of precipitation, creating a warm summer evening for your challenge.
Since its inception in 2006, the event has raised over $1.4 million for charity, making every step count towards supporting four vital local beneficiaries: the Long Island Children's Museum, Long Island Cares – The Harry Chapin Food Bank, Children's Medical Fund of NY, and the Nassau County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Whether you're a competitive runner aiming for a personal best or prefer to enjoy a leisurely walk with your team, the CBIZ Workplace Challenge provides an inclusive atmosphere that celebrates fitness, teamwork, and philanthropy, culminating in post-race festivities in the Corporate Village.
