Todd Howell a part of the 2018 Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon Team

On Dec. 8, 2017, Covenant Health introduced their 2018 Marathon Team Members. Each of the team members come from different walks of life but all share one thing in common: all are over the age of 50.

The members of the 2018 marathon team will serve as ambassadors for health, fitness and the Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon. This year's team will encourage people of all ages to get up and get going toward a better quality of life using the health and fitness tools they are giving while on the team.

The team will work with trainers from Fort Sanders Health and Fitness, participate in Saturday morning runs with the Knoxville Track Club, and then take part in the 2018 Knoxville Marathon.

Among the 2018 team members is WBIR Chief Meteorologist Todd Howell who plans to run the half marathon on March 25, 2018.

Also on the team: Carol Evans, head of Legacy Parks, Sue Buckley, creator of Club VIBES, and Cassandra McGee Stuart, former Channel 10 reporter who now works at Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
