On Friday 18th April, Mackman’s technical department took on the Sudbury fun run. James and Adam both ran the traditional five mile course around Sudbury in just under 40 minutes, ending in Belle Vue Park.
James Royce, Technical Lead said, “The Sudbury fun run is renowned for being a busy event, so we made sure to get tickets early! As our offices are in the heart of Sudbury, it’s important to contribute to these events and support local causes. The weather was good to us and it was a great day”.
Adam Chamberlin, our Technical Developer said “I’m definitely more comfortable on a bike! However, it was good fun, great to run with so many people”.
Michael Balls, who helps with the operations at Mackman was also involved, part of the The Bridge Project funrun team, helping to raise over £2,000 for the charity.
The Sudbury fun run is a major longstanding sporting event for Sudbury, taking place since the early 1980s. This year, The Bridge Project was one of three beneficiaries of the event, that also included East of England Air Ambulance and the Marian Corner Appeal.
Amanda, our Senior Researcher at Mackman, managed to get some action shots of the event. Running an average of 4.54 per km, James and Adam were just too speedy to get a photo head on and we’re still trying to guess exactly what James is saying to Adam.
Michael can be seen proudly speed walking his way through the fun run course. Well done Mackman team!
