On Sunday 25th July, three of the team from Melbourne Server Hosting took part in the Urbanathlon around East Manchester which consisted of running between obstacles on a 5Km trail. Starting at the City of Manchester Stadium, we ran up steps, climbed walls, scaled haystacks, crawled through tubes, jumped over cars and made our way through various other challenging activities over changing terrains all in the name of charity.
In total, over 900 runners took part on the day to raise money and awareness for charities such as ‘Street Games’ a new National Charity delivering ‘Sport in Deprived Communities’, The North West Kidney Patient Association, The New Children’s Hospital Appeal, UNICEF and Brain Tumour UK.
Although it showed just how unfit we all are, we had a very enjoyable day and look forward to more events to raise money for charity soon.
