Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Corporate Team

As has been the case every year since 2003, I plan to register a UnitedHealth Group team into the 2007 Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon Corporate Team Challenge. The marathon takes place on Sunday, Oct. 7, 2007. Please know that registering this team is about promoting health and fitness, and fostering a UHG running community. We welcome marathoners of all speeds, and don’t register the team with an expectation of winning the Corporate Team Challenge.

To be part of our team, you need to: 1) be individually registered for the marathon, and 2) let Mike Seaton know that you’d like to be added to our team roster. In past years, we’ve scheduled team lunches to get to know each other and discuss our marathon preparation. We could also schedule some group runs if we have enough interest. We’re looking into the possibility of making team running shirts available. On race day, we try to meet before the race for a group picture, and after the race (everybody runs the marathon at their own pace) to share congratulations.

Please contact Mike Seaton (michael_p_seaton@uhc.com) if you’re interested in being part of the team.
