Newsfeed: Up & Running

A team from Cooper & Hall will pull on their trainers when they take part in the Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon.

The five runners have devoted themselves to a military-style training regime of early nights and healthy diets, abstaining from treats to ensure peak performance when they take to the streets of York on Sunday 11 October.

We’ve hidden the key to the biscuit tin to make sure they don’t waver. Our fantastic five – Ian Wilcock, Alison Duncan, Steve McMillan, Richard Wilcock and Joe Wright – will each run a leg of the 26-mile marathon course.

The team are raising money for Director Graham Hall’s son, Callum, an accomplished wheelchair athlete, who will be the sixth racer on the day.

Said Alison: “It is a fantastic opportunity to raise funds for Callum, develop teamwork in our growing workforce and take up a sporting challenge. We are a mixed age and ability team, but hope that enthusiasm will carry us over the line!”

You can support the team by sponsoring their heroic effort. Simply contact Helen Porter at Cooper & Hall on 01423 816800.
