Pratt & Whitney wins Corporate Team trophy in Citizens Bank 5K

Employees from Pratt & Whitney won the Corporate Team Competition Award at the recent Citizens Bank 5K held on Main Street in Middletown.  The award was given to the team with the three fastest runners.

Lane Thornton was the first Pratt & Whitney team member to cross the finish line with a time of 18:06, making him the sixth individual to cross the line.

Money raised from the Citizens Bank 5K Summer Fun Run have benefited organizations including the Northern Middlesex Habitat for Humanity, the YMCA of Northern Middlesex County, the Middlesex Chamber of Commerce Mentor Program, Amazing Grace, Art Farm, Middlesex Bike Club, Kiwanis Club, Oddfellows Playhouse and Warm the Children.
