Local Start-up Launches Its Biggest Virtual Race for Wellness in 2021

DIEMlife Seeking Local Businesses and Customers to Participate 

Syracuse, NY – DIEMlife, a local start-up in Central NY, is set to launch the World’s Biggest Virtual Race for Wellness on January 15, 2021. The race is created to connect communities to causes, and allow restaurants, non-profits, local communities, and business districts the help they need in the new year. Known as the DIEMlife Mega-Quest®, this countrywide virtual race is the natural evolution of a Quest® series developed by DIEMlife in September this year. DIEMlife is looking for local businesses in CNY to participate. The platform is a brilliant way to build workplace wellness programs, and solves the problem of erratic engagement, uncoordinated campaigns and missed impact.

DIEMlife recently expanded from New York City to Syracuse and Rochester, and has been making waves over lockdown with an online platform that connects people to causes and to each other, in pursuit of good health. To date, the platform has helped deliver 5,000+ meals to frontline workers, showcased 100+ freelancers, and raised $250,000+ for causes.

“Through virtual races driven by real-world tasks, the goal is to get healthy and give back,” said Timothy Midgley, CEO of DIEMlife. “It’s about connecting with people of different backgrounds, ages, cultures, and places. The pandemic and politics have pushed people apart, but DIEMlife wants to bring them back together – after a rough year, it’s the reset everyone needs.”

DIEMlife’s current partners include Syracuse University and GMHEC, who are already signed up to participate in the virtual race. The Quest®-building structure is simple for businesses; they set up a team, pick a worthy cause, identify a local businesses, and join the ‘race’. This is an accessible, one-stop online platform that enables companies to perform multiple tasks all in one place, with just one click. From team building, to activity tracking, to event ticketing, the platform also allows companies to share content across the omnichannel.
