The Solent Treadmill Marathon on 12 October 2007 was a huge success with over one third of the office taking part and collecting in total £115 for GOSH.
A big thank you to all those that took part and rest of the office who supported the event by coming to work in their sports kit and bought sweets!
What is it all about?
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.
