HARD Nutrition spokesperson Steve Hess, was joined by professional basketball players Chris “The Birdman” Andersen and Nene Hilario to greet all of the participants and kick off the 5K, 10K, and Kids Fun Run races.
Richard Pearce, CEO and President said, “We are extremely proud to be a sponsor of such a great event. It was very rewarding to see the way our HARD Nutrition Functional Water Systems were enjoyed by the troops and their families during the run and throughout all of the day’s activities. The energy that was created by Steve Hess, Chris Andersen, and Nene was infectious and set the tone for the day. We are honored to have already been invited back for next year’s Armed Forces Run, and are definitely looking forward to being a part of what I believe will certainly be a growing event.”
