UnitedHealthcare kicked off its fifth year sponsorship of IRONKIDS® races in the United States with the UnitedHealthcare IRONKIDS® Boulder Fun Run. Three hundred and seventy young athletes participated this morning at Boulder High School.
UnitedHealthcare mascot Dr. Health E. Hound kicked-off the fun run, which helps inspire and motivate young people to lead active, positive and healthy lifestyles. Athletes ages 3-15 ran along portions of the Blueprint for Athletes IRONMAN Boulder course that takes place tomorrow. Each athlete received a race bib, T-shirt, goodie bag and finisher medal.
This is the fifth year UnitedHealthcare is supporting IRONKIDS in the United States as part of the company's commitment to help stem the rising tide of childhood obesity through healthy lifestyles. UnitedHealthcare is sponsoring seven one-mile fun runs in 2016.
