Our Workplace Marathon People

Sunday saw the London Marathon and I just want to recognise the efforts of Workplace colleagues (those that I know about) who sweated blood and tears to get round the course.

John Pickles, Finance Analyst, completed the Rotterdam marathon in 4 hours and 28 minutes on April 5. He also took part in the Athens marathon last autumn.

Stephen Killick in the Broadcasting House, W1 team was on his second marathon and achieved it in 4hrs 35mins - you can donate to his charity, The James Baldwin Trust which helps young adults being treated for T-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. 

Chris Smith, Risk Assurance Manager completed the 26.3 mile marathon in 5 hours, 46 minutes - dressed as Achilles. He is pictured with Richard Coates, Fire Risk Manager, who provided 12 hours voluntary effort as part of the team at the 23 mile drinks stations.

At the same time, Mark Wright, Broadcast and Business Continuity Director rowed the equivalent of the 26.3 miles on a rowing machine in just 3 hours, 45 minutes.

What remarkable achievements - is there anyone else out there who participated?
