Abstract: Let $M$ be a compact $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with nonnegative Ricci curvature and mean convex boundary $partialM$. Assume that the mean curvature $H$ of the boundary $partialM$ satisfies $Hgeq(n-1)k>0$ for some positive constant $k$. In this paper, we prove that the distance function $d$ to the boundary $partialM$ is bounded from above by $frac1k$ and the upper bound is achieved if and only if $M$ is isometric to an $n$-dimensional Euclidean ball of radius $frac1k$.
