Brain Freezer 5K x PHPG Overview
The Brain Freezer 5K is an annual race that the organization People Helping People Global (PHPG) hosts in downtown Burlington. Racers compete to run a 5K and eat a pint of ice cream in the fastest time. The event has taken place since 2012 and has been featured in Runner’s World and the New York Times. PHPG is a microlending nonprofit that helps people living on less than $2US per day. PHPG has been a pro bono client of Tuck since the program launched in 2020.

The Challenge
Like many races, the organization had to shut down the race for the first couple of years of the pandemic, but the race represented the largest single source of funds for PHPG each year. That’s where Tuck was able to step in to help roll out ClickUp and project manage the entire effort to bring the race back. Tuck created a template that can be reused every year with the key activities, and it manages all of the volunteers to hold the event for each nine month cycle.

From PMI’s Pulse of the Profession® 2023 report: “Power skills — also known as interpersonal skills or soft skills such as communication, problem-solving and collaborative leadership — are proving essential for project professionals. They are at the heart of leading successful teams, engaging stakeholders and conquering challenges to the project plan. Technical skills enable project managers to chart the path from the start of a project to close, but power skills are how they bring the entire team along for the journey to execute a common vision.”
