Mayor's Challenge 5K Run/Walk

November 14, 2011


On Sunday, November 14, 2011, Mayor Karl Dean hosted the Mayor's Challenge 5K Run/Walk to encourage Nashville to be more active.  An addition to Mr. Dean's "Walk 100 Miles With The Mayor" campaign, more than 5,000 people came out to Public Square at the Metro Courthouse to run or walk 3.1 miles through downtown Nashville.

Gobbell Hays Partners, Inc. felt compelled by the Mayor's challenge and send out a team from the downtown Nashville office to "compete" in the race.  While none of our team "won" the race, we all felt like winners at the finish line.  Living a healthy, sustainable life is extremely important.  As we work to live sustainably, GHP also works to apply sustainability to our professional lives as well.  GHP strives to take the holistic approach to our architectural and environmental services and finds our calling in such works.  It was a great day for the GHP team; however, it was also a reminder to us that our professional lives aren't so different from what we completed in the 5K.  Probably the only difference being a leg cramp here and there.
