As Fifth Third Bank is consolidating, the executive in charge of organizing the Fifth Third River Bank Run has lost his job.
John Zimmerman told 24 Hour News 8 that Fifth Third is eliminating regional marketing positions — one of which he holds — and consolidating all marketing to its headquarters in Ohio. As a result, he was laid off, so he’ll no longer be the director for the annual road race.
Zimmerman said it is possible that Fifth Third could pull its sponsorship, but that he would be shocked if it did.
