HealthyHuntington.org, inc. was initially founded in 2003.  It is dedicated to bringing the HealthierUS Initiative to the Tri-State area.  The HealthierUS Initiative recommends 4 ways to bring communities to better health:  1 - a healthy diet, including high fiber, low fat foods including a lot of fruits and vegetables; 2 - daily aerobic exercise;  3 - getting routine screenings such as cholesterol levels and cancer screening, etc; and 4 - avoidance of risky behaviors such as smoking and excessive drinking among other things.

HealthyHuntington.org has stressed exercise immensely.  Events that we sponsor include the St. Mary's Medical Center Tristate Triathlon, the Children's Tri-a-triathlon;  and the Marshall University Marathon, half-marathon, relay and walk.  In addition we hold a Children's Triathlon Camp the last 2 weeks of July and we also enter a vegetarian chili yearly in the local chilifest.

Our events are notable for being fun; participation is goal #1.  Our t-shirt designs are typically outstanding;  all finishers receive finisher's medals special to the event.  Relays do not take a back step in the races either.  We encourage teamwork.
