Back 2 the Trenches - Mud Run
Following on from the success of our GCC pulse activities - a bid to keep the Ltd team as fit, healthy and active as possible. Some of our staff decided to take their fitness routines one step further and conquer the grueling - but exciting – Mud Run, raising money for the wonderful Haven House Children's Hospice in the process.

Held in the Surrey countryside by the aptly named ‘Back 2 the Trenches’, this challenge takes runners on an adventure through mud, water, climbs, falls, wire, fire, extreme obstacles and the unexpected. It’s the natural obstacles that set this challenge aside from the rest and our fantastic team powered through to the end - as only the brave do - cementing the absolute dedication and willpower of a Ltd employee.

Training for this event was not to be taken lightly, something Craig who has previously run the London Marathon, knew all too well. All three of our team put in the hours of training and on top of this Pat cycles to work regularly. The guys have smashed their fitness goals for our GCC Pulse challenge to date and look to continue in the same direction.
Sprinting to the finish line
Our hero's of the day, Stuart, Pat and Craig have literally taken the arduous 12k terrain in their stride - finishing in excellent time. No hill is too high and no mud pit too deep for these guys, we would like to applaud their efforts and shout a massive WELL DONE from the rest of the Ltd team.
Happy to have finished
...and a well deserved rest.
