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.

Following the success of the Running Shoos Treadmill Marathon swimmers from across the Shoosmiths' offices are being invited to take to the water in order to raise money for charity. The aim - to swim the Channel (well sort of!)
As you may know, the Channel is 21 miles / 32 km wide (give or take) which equates to 32,000 metres or 1,333 lengths of a 24 metre pool. The idea is not for everyone to swim 21 miles, but to divvy up the lengths among those who want to take part.
And again it's a race, not just against the clock but against all the other Shoosmiths' offices.
Further information will follow but, in the meantime, if you have any queries or suggestions please contact your local Running Shoos Coordinator.
