“This contest is strongly aligned with our company’s overall mission of improving the health, well-being and security of individuals," said Rebekah Whitehouse, chief marketing officer for CIGNA Group Insurance. “We look forward to hearing the inspiring stories of runners from across the country and the chance to help one individual meet his or her personal goal of racing in the world-class CIGNA Falmouth Road Race this year.”
The contest is open to U.S. residents 18 years of age or older. Contest details, official rules and entry forms are available at www.cigna.com/falmouthroadrace. The winner will be announced on or about May 8, 2009.
