This Wednesday, the Advertising Association had the pleasure of taking part in the Marketing Society’s Sprintathon, hosted in partnership with Cancer Research UK and Direct Line, in aid of Stand Up To Cancer. Each team of four runners completed a relay of 400m back-to-back, to collectively run the distance of a marathon in under two hours!
The event, hosted in Battersea Park Millennium Arena and sponsored by Google, featured racing Unicorns and some extremely fast lap times. In an excellent display of sportsmanship, the AA team, made up of Nick Oliverio, Credos’ Research & Insights Manager; Bobbie Dennis, Policy & Public Affairs Executive; Irene Gari, Ad Net Zero Executive; and Maddie Rees, Communications Intern, all made a great effort. Their fastest lap ended up being an impressive 1.07.
Over 100k has already been raised to help beat Cancer faster and we are proud to have been involved. A huge well done goes to all the 300 runners and a huge thank you to the Marketing Society, its staff and sponsors for making this fantastic event happen!
Here are some snapshots of our day in the park…
