HOUSTON, Oct. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- KBR (NYSE: KBR)
announced today that it will, once again, serve as the co-lead
sponsor of the Army Ten-Miler (ATM) race in Washington, D.C. on Sunday, Oct. 13, 2019.
KBR has been a major sponsor of the ATM for 14 years. At the
race, KBR's sponsorship will provide free shuttle service,
hospitality tents, water, pre-packaged meal boxes, and a reunion
area where family and friends connect with runners.
KBR will also continue to sponsor a tent in the famous Hooah
Tent Zone. At the company's tent, attendees can interact with
soldiers while enjoying Wisconsin
bratwursts and taking pictures in a photo booth.
The ATM is the third largest ten-mile road race in the world,
attracting more than 35,000 runners from around the globe. All
proceeds from the ATM go to the U.S. Army's Family, Morale,
Welfare, and Recreation (MWR) program.

meeting the needs of the Army community," said Byron Bright, President, KBR Government
Solutions U.S.
"As an organization that serves U.S. armed forces around the
world, we are proud to be a part of this race, which has a profound
impact on soldiers and their loved ones," Bright continued.
For 35 years, the ATM has generated over $7.3 million for the Army MWR program, which
provides services and programs that support readiness and
resilience for military members and their families.
