The 2006 Kaiser Permanente Corporate Run/Walk debuts this year with the very first Captain’s Kickoff on Tuesday, May 16, 2006 at the Park Tavern from 6-8 p.m. The event – which is the first of three -- is designed to inform Atlanta businesses about how they can participate in this popular fitness annual event and to provide registration information. And there’s lots more in store. Here is a preview of what’s on tap for the evening:

• Fitness tips from Race Director, Jeff Galloway
• Fitness apparel fashion show by Phidippides
• Registration packet pickup
• Tent reservations for KPCRW
• Opportunity to talk with Bally Total Fitness and Phidippides Representatives

All Captain’s Kickoff guests will receive free VIP Event Parking Passes, and light refreshments will be served. The Park Tavern is located at 10th Street and Monroe Drive, next to Piedmont Park, and parking is free to all.

This event marks the first of three Captain’s Kickoff meetings to be held up until fitness training begins in late July. Other Captain's Kickoffs are scheduled for Thursday, June 22 at FGS in Duluth, and July 26 at Waffle House headquarters in Norcross.
