On 14th March Dr Pitts (History), Dr Ingleston (Biology) and Mr Odell (New House Housemaster) all took part in a Kilomathon race in aid of the cancer care and support charity Macmillan. This was the first ever race of that length, 26.2km (a marathon is 26.2 miles) or 16.3 miles.
After weeks of training all three successfully completed the course from Nottingham to Derby, taking in places such as Long Eaton, Draycott, Elvaston Castle and Alvaston along with around 5,800 other runners.
Their times and places were as follows:
Dr Pitts, 1hr 58 mins (275th)
Mr Odell, 2hrs 13 mins (1,037th)
Dr Ingleston, 2hrs 32 mins (2,94th)
So far the trio have raised over £1000 for Macmillan which is a great achievement. They have until 14th April to improve upon this total, if you would like to make a contribution please click here to visit their Just Giving website.
