The Army Ten-Miler today announced that for a second year TANDBERG, a global leader in visual communication, signed on as a major sponsor of its annual ten-mile run. TANDBERG will provide videoconferencing to enhance the race weekend experience for the more than 26,000 runners and 623 teams from around the world, as well as runners participating in shadow runs at Camp Taji, Al Asad, and Camp Victory in Iraq.

TANDBERG will enable runners to make private video calls to loved ones stationed at bases across Iraq from the race expo at Crystal Gateway Marriott Hotel free of charge. In addition, the TANDBERG Interactive Zone will use videoconferencing to enable live presentations from running experts nationwide, including Jeff Galloway, Author and U.S. Olympian. Participants will see, hear, and interact live on TANDBERG equipment a first ever for the Army Ten-Miler.

"TANDBERG is honored to partner with the Army Ten-Miler to connect soldiers with their families during race weekend and enable deployed troops to see their loved ones face-to-face," said Joel Brunson, president, TANDBERG Federal. "We are proud to participate in the Army Ten-Miler again this year and do our part to support the Morale, Welfare, and Recreation programs that the proceeds from this noteworthy event benefit."

Runners can register for private 30-minute videoconferences through September 26. To learn more about registering for a call or the activities taking place in the TANDBERG Interactive Zone, please visit www.armytenmiler.com.
