Nottingham Forest midfielders Guy Moussi and Radoslaw Majewski were down at the training ground with Nottingham business advisers Cooper Parry today to launch the firm’s team challenge that takes place alongside the Experian Robin Hood half marathon on 12th September 2010.
The Cooper Parry Corporate Challenge is an event specifically aimed at local businesses. Teams of five follow the same course as the Experian Robin Hood half Marathon with each team member running around 2.5 miles before passing over the ‘baton’.
Race Organiser, Melanie Campbell said, “This is our eighth year organising the event and we’re really pleased to have Nottingham Forest on board as partners.”
The Cooper Parry Corporate Challenge remains the UK's largest corporate relay and is the single highest contributor to the Robin Hood marathon charities. The event has raised some £200,000 over the last seven years for the marathon charities and in 2010 the firm hopes to increase their fundraising even more.
Ben White, Nottingham Forest said, “It’s great to be supporting Cooper Parry’s team event and we encourage businesses to take up the challenge and raise money for worthy causes. We will be putting forward a Nottingham Forest team and are already looking forward to the day.”
Last year East Midlands Development Agency (emda) won the race in a time of 1:27:53. In second place was MMD Mining Developments Ltd with a time of 1:28:41 and in third place, Perkins Restaurant, in a time of 1:31:57.
Cooper Parry Chairman, Colin Shaw, said: ‘It’s a great day for everyone, whether you’re a serious team of runners or just in it for fun. We all try to raise as much money as possible for charity, local businesses have great fun and get a little fitter along the way. Nearly £30,000 was raised last year and this was a commendable effort in the economic climate.’
He continued ‘It is genuinely a fantastic day out for all, but more importantly it is an opportunity for local businesses to give back to the community we live and work in.’
This year’s event takes place on Sunday 12 September 2010.
