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.

The Kinabalu Challenge from 20th - 28th February 2009



The Kinabalu Challenge is a 10 day trip to the jungles of Borneo where teams of 4 compete in a series of challenges including mountain biking, running, white water rafting, bamboo rafting, kayaking and racing up Mt Kinabalu the highest mountain in south East Asia.
Competitors will be trained in the essential jungle skills by our experienced guides before the challenge starts and will then have to use these skills to their best effect while competing.
The Kinabalu Challenge is tough especially when done in 35 degree temperatures and 95% humidity, it is however not just for the super humans amongst us, with decent training prior to the event almost anyone can complete the challenge, though the fitter you are the more you will enjoy it.
Please note that you do not need to sign up as an entire group of 4. Many sign up as individuals and are put in to groups. We will group you to the best of our ability with others of a similar fitness level and attitude to the event.
