If you have been around here much, you know I love to run road races AND I love free entries! This year, I am going to “Rock my Health” at the Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago Half Marathon. I got my entry in exchange for telling you all about Humana’s #RockYourHealth campaign and their involvement in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Race series in Chicago, New Orleans, Virginia Beach and San Antonio. They are doing some great stuff in Chicago, so I am really pleased to share this with you!
Humana has been working with the Rock ‘n’ Roll Chicago half marathon for the last few years. This year, more than a hundred Humana associates will join in by lacing up their shoes and running or volunteering to support racers from start to the finish.
The Rock ‘n’ Roll series is just one example of how Humana is working towards its goal of “a 20 percent improvement in the health of the communities [they] serve by 2020.” They also support healthier food choices, and other health and fitness activities, at the Taste of Chicago among many other community oriented activities. I had the opportunity to check out some of the Humana Healthier Choices at the Taste last weekend.
Race participants can make every mile count for a cause with Humana and Charity Miles. We can download the free Charity Miles app for Android or iPhone, select one of 25 charities, and Charity Miles will donate 25 cents per logged mile to the selected cause. A win-win!
Join my HumanaVitality Cheer Squad http://t.co/29EK1blF83 to send me personalized cheers while I run.

Humana knows that support from friends and family is critical to a healthy, active lifestyle. The Humana Vitality Squad will be near mile 12 – the “Humana’s Inspiration Mile.” They will display personalized cheers from friends and family for that extra boost near the finish line. Runners, family, friends and supporters can share their well-wishes and words of encouragement by visiting Humana Vitality Squad or by visiting Humana’s booth at the expo. You can cheer me on via the link in my tweet above! (Please do!)
At the 2 day RnR Health & Fitness expo, folks can visit the Humana Booth for health and well-being activities. They will host a Health & Well-Being quiz to test your knowledge and educate you about healthy living, Charity Miles app assistance, Free biometric screenings and more!
I am grateful to Humana for supporting my Rock ‘n’ Roll Half Run so I can “Rock My Health” and enjoy the awesome city route. Now, I am just hoping for decent weather. One way or another, I will be 13.1 miles healthier and happier!
What are you doing to #RockYourHealth this summer?
