On July 27, a team from our London office took part in the Diamond Relays 2015 at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The brand-new event comprised a 5x5k road relay around one loop of the iconic park.
Over 1,000 runners took to the course, which incorporated landmarks such as the Orbit Tower and the Aquatics Centre, before finishing in the Olympic Stadium. The runners not only had the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of stars from the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, they were also a part of history as they ran on the Olympic track for the final time before the new surface is laid in preparation for the Rugby World Cup.
Unfortunately, our two teams came in 196thand 222ndplace – out of 229 teams(!) – but it is taking part that counts, and what a memorable experience for all involved!
Well done to participants Athena Achilleos, Miranda Biddle, Leonie Ghirardi, Aimee Hunwicks, Suzanne Labi, Isobel Stapleton, and Ada Sula.
