UNH Team Runs, Pedals, Paddles to Victory


A trio from UNH—Sackett Professor John Seavey (left) and McKerley Professor of Health Economics Robert Woodward (right), both of Health Management and Policy, and UNH Health Services Executive Director Kevin Charles (second from left) —won the senior division of the New Hampshire Seacoast Run, Pedal and Paddle triathlon in New Castle Saturday, Sept. 17. With a total time of 2 hours, 54 minutes and 14 seconds, the team, called “Old Enough to Know Better,” placed third in the overall standings.

Charles (10 kilometer run), Woodward (19.5 mile bike) and Seavey (five mile kayak) were coached by Tamara Martin, Health Management and Policy research assistant professor. The race raised nearly $50,000 to benefit the Seacoast Physical Best Program, an initiative overseen by Martin that will design and implement programming to improve the fitness of children in 11 Seacoast schools.
