What is it all about?
Running Shoos is an initiative developed to build on Shoosmiths’ commitment to corporate social responsibility. By inviting any and all Shoosmiths employees and clients to take part in a variety of charity events, the initiative aims to raise money both for the national Charity of the Year, and for the local organising Office Nominated Charity.
Not just for the hard-core runners amongst our contacts, Running Shoos aims to cater for everyone’s fitness levels, and activities planned include all kinds of running events across the country. So whether you would like to do a leisurely 1km walk followed by a nice cup of tea or a gruelling 2 day adventure race followed by a days rehydration, your local Running Shoos co-ordinator can help.
The grand plan is to help members of staff, clients and friends of Shoosmiths to participate in events that they would otherwise not have the opportunity to do so, whilst raising money for charity.

Huge thank you to everyone who took part in the first external event of the Running Shoos calendar. We had 3 teams who took part in the Robin Hood Half Marathon corporate relay challenge. Our fastest team came 9th out of an overall 77 teams completing the challenge in a time of 1 hour 41 minutes and our other 2 teams came 40th and 50th, crossing the finish line just before and after the 2 hour mark respectively.
Thank you to everyone for their efforts and especially those who made the journey down the A42 to get here for 8am!
See you all next time!
