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.
