With more than 20,629 entrants, 1,500 volunteers, and a 26.2-mile course to conquer, members of Team Biotene walked, biked, and ran their way toward the finish line of Los Angeles' 22nd Marathon!
The dedicated employees of Laclede, makers of Biotene and Oral Balance Dry Mouth products, endured months of rigorous training to help raise money and increase awareness for more than 50 local and national charitable organizations. During the three-day event, which began Friday, March 2, with a health expo through marathon day, Sunday, March 4, Team Biotene distributed more than 75,000 Biotene sample packs to thousands of participants through goodie bags and en route give-aways!
Team Biotene member Dale Lauterback said, "It's great to be with thousands of other people all trying to make it to the finish while supporting their charities. And, it was a blast biking through the streets of LA seeing people chewing packs of Biotene Gum!"
The LA Marathon has raised more than 17 million dollars to date and will certainly continue to be supported by all members of the Biotene and Oral Balance family!
