Four members of staff from our Public Health Team – Mairi Whitfield, Susan Carson, Dr Chloe McAdam and Dr Oliver Harding – teamed up to complete the 26.2 miles of the Edinburgh Marathon Relay, each covering between 4.4 and 8.3 miles.
The team said it was great to have a shared goal to motivate us to get running more regularly and to do something fun together outside of work. For some of them, it was the furthest they had run in years! Despite experiencing all four seasons in one day, they crossed the finish line in 4:27:39 – with smiles on their faces.
The experience hasn’t put them off for next year and they are also keen to see if they can encourage a few more teams to take part in the relay event.
