(Charleston, SC) - In addition to eGroup being a corporate sponsor of The Charleston Digital Corridor Foundation's second annual Innovator's 5K run (ifive:K) on April 17th 2008, eGroup employees laced up their running shoes and participated in the fun as a company.

Open to runners and walkers, the iFive:k started and finished at the Charleston Maritime Center, with a post-race celebration immediately following on the harbor.

An official 6 member team comprised of Ben Gaddy, Chris Hogan, Mike Carter, Mike Hall, Gunnar Berger, and Will Turbeville represented eGroup under the name "Serious Competitors," and raced their way to an impressive 2nd place finish in the challenge against other 6 member teams. Ben Gaddy also took 2nd place among the males in his age group race-wide, and eGroup as a whole received the "Team Spirit Award" for its collective enthusiasm during the event.

Mike Carter, eGroup principal consultant, had this to say after the inaugural event in 2007, "At the iFive:k, we had an exclusive opportunity to get out and unite as a team in the presence of other like-minded business professionals. The setting was amazing. It felt like a high-touch, members-only event, where the participants were catered to and the venue was the sun setting across downtown historic Charleston and the Battery. The iFive:k was the perfect race, but we've come to expect nothing less from the Charleston Digital Corridor."

The feeling generated by this year's event was no different, as it proved to be yet another memorable team bonding and networking experience set against the backdrop of a perfect Charleston evening. The Charleston Digital Corridor will donate a portion of the proceeds raised to the Burke High School Scholarship Fund. This donation will be earmarked for a student seeking higher education in a technology related field.
