The second annual UnitedHealthcare IRONKIDS Chattanooga Fun Run raced around Ross’s Landing Saturday. UnitedHealthcare mascot Dr. Health E. Hound kicked-off the fun run, joined by Rick Reeves, COO of UnitedHealthcare Community Plan of Tennessee, and TN House Majority Leader Gerald McCormick.
Local athletes, ages 3-15, had the opportunity to run on the same course as the IRONMAN 70.3 Chattanooga, which takes place Sunday. IRONMAN pro-athletes Andy Potts, Nina Kraft and Terenzo Bozzone were on hand with Dr. Health E. Hound to help warm up the kids, and place medals on them as they crossed the finish line.
This is the fourth year UnitedHealthcare is supporting IRONKIDS as part of the company’s commitment to help stem the rising tide of childhood obesity through healthy lifestyles. The UnitedHealthcare IRONKIDS 2015 Series features nine one-mile fun-runs and a dip-and-dash.
