Running the Extra miles…
This month saw an impressive collective of our team swapping out their work uniforms for running gear and taking part in our charity 5k, which has raised significant funds for the Leeds Hospitals Charity.
Taking on the challenge at their own pace, we saw the team taking time out of their days to either run or walk the length of the course. The route circled Leeds Skelton Lake’s 2.5km nature walk twice, and saw every participating team member ultimately crossing the finish line.
Over 20 team members participated in the race, including our site staff, management and members of the senior team, including our CEO. Feedback from all those involved was overwhelmingly positive, with talks of the next team challenge already in the works.
The run follows suit with a recent upsurge in physical activity taking place on the grounds of Leeds Skelton Lake. The site’s natural features and sociable seating areas have made it a hotspot for local fitness groups and run clubs, many of whom enjoy a post-workout debrief at one of Leeds Skelton Lake’s many food and drink outlets. Between public donations and a contribution from Extra MSA, the challenge raised over £1000 for its chosen charity partner, Leeds Hospitals Charity.
