Savage & Associates employees, along with their families and friends, laced up their running shoes and represented our company in the inaugural Savage 5k on April 27. Part of Mercy Health Glass City Marathon weekend, the Savage-sponsored 5k drew nearly 1,500 participants who ran and walked a 3.1-mile course winding throughout the University of Toledo campus.

Congratulations to all runners and walkers. Finishers received a medal, a commemorative glass mug, and plenty of post-race food and refreshments.

Our own Sean Savage ran the course in 18 minutes and 47 seconds, finishing ninth place overall. Complete race results are available on the Mercy Glass City Marathon website.

In addition to race participants, Savage colleagues served as volunteers at the event throughout Marathon weekend, working at a water stop along the course and staffing our booth at the expo on Friday and Saturday.

The Savage is the area’s premier spring 5k. We look forward to next year’s event on Saturday, April 25, 2020.
