From Coworkers to “Hot Girl Walkers”: How a Team at Miron Construction Found Connection at the Community First Fox Cities Marathon Presented by Miron Construction
Three years ago, what started as a casual email about upcoming wellness events turned into something much bigger for our team at Miron Construction. Meredith Baciak, Miron Construction’s wellness coordinator, shared a list of wellness events Miron was supporting in the community. The Community First Fox Cities Marathon Presented by Miron Construction was on that list. We initially dismissed the event, thinking it was meant for runners and athletes. But then we reconsidered and saw it as a challenge we could take on as a team.
We started small, signing up for the Ascension 5K Run/Walk. None of us considered ourselves athletes, but we were already walking similar distances on our own, so it felt approachable, and we didn’t need to do much training. Race day came, and we had so much fun. The course is stunning with the tree-lined streets and the picturesque homes around Riverside Park in Neenah. It ended up being the perfect backdrop for a safe, entry-level event and the start of our annual hot girl walk!
