UnitedHealthcare IRONKIDS SUPERFROG Fun Run Motivates Local Youth to Lead Active, Healthy Lifestyles

Nearly 100 kids participated in the second UnitedHealthcare IRONKIDS® SUPERFROG Fun Run today at Pier Plaza. UnitedHealthcare mascot Dr. Health E. Hound kicked off the fun run, joined by Melissa Stout-Penn of UnitedHealthcare.

Athletes ages 3 to 15 ran along portions of the IRONMAN 70.3 SUPERFROG course that takes place tomorrow. Each athlete received a race bib, T-shirt, goodie bag and finisher medal. UnitedHealthcare provided complimentary registrations to the Boys & Girls Clubs of South County to encourage participation. The South County Club is one of over 1,300 Clubs across the country that provides services to kids whose parents are in the military.

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.
