Justgiving Justrunning...

It was the JP Morgan chase corporate challenge last night so a team of 7 from JG towers donned trainers and Lycra shorts and headed for Battersea Park for the 5.6k race. Some put in more training than others! Marissa is a keen runner and can often be spotted running around Hyde Park, while Jason’s training was slightly less intense, his mantra being ‘thou shalt not drink for 5 days before the race’!

Here we are pre-race:

Competition was fierce and not because the other 20,000 runners but because our US sisters, Firstgiving, had completed the race in Boston with excellent times last month. So who won? …..Drum roll please.

….And the winners are Firstgiving with 4 runners coming in with and average of 29min.24sec.

Justgiving with 7 runners had an average of 34min.22sec.

The winner of the men’s was Firstgiving’s James with an impressive 24.27

The winner of the women’s was Justgiving’s Marissa with 28mins.

Congratulations to Firstgiving!

Here they are celebrating their victory:

And finally... may I suggest Jono wears a size bigger?!

and he wasn't even posing!
