Healthy Company Challenge Encourages Area Companies to
Promote Health & Fitness to Employees

APPLETON, WI – The 17th annual Community First Fox Cities Marathon Festival
of Races has a way for all area companies to promote health & fitness to
their employees. The Healthy Company Challenge, sponsored by Enterprise
Rent-a-Car, is a friendly competition among all area companies, including
non-profit groups and municipalities. Companies can be located anywhere in
Northeast Wisconsin, including the Green Bay, Oshkosh, Fond du Lac,
Lakeshore, or Fox Cities areas.

The top three companies in each of three employee size divisions will be
determined by the highest percentage of local workers participating in any
of five events that weekend:
-Time Warner Cable 5K Run/Walk
-Orthopedic & Sports Institute Relay Marathon
-Community First Fox Cities Marathon
-U.S. Cellular Half Marathon
-Appleton Papers PowerWalk

Registration is easy for companies! We just need a total
employee count as of July 1, 2007 and a local contact that will spearhead
the efforts to promote the Healthy Company Challenge in their company.
Employees then need to list their company on the registration form and we
will track the number of employees registered in each company. Companies
are encouraged to register no matter how many employees may be
participating. Registration forms and posters promoting the event will be
mailed to the contact for distribution to employees.

The 17th annual Community First Fox Cities Marathon is a 501(c)3 non-profit
organization. Saturday, September 22 events include the Time Warner Cable
5K Run/Walk and the Guardian Kids Fun Run. Sunday, September 23 events
feature the Community First Fox Cities Marathon, U.S. Cellular Half
Marathon, Appleton Papers PowerWalk, and Orthopedic & Sports Institute
Relay Marathon.
