We are very pleased to learn that a group of people from JCA Coatings are looking to take part in the Great South Run in Portsmouth on the 25th Oct 2009. This is a 10 mile run around Portsmouth.
The Bupa Great South Run is Europe’s most popular 10 mile race and dates back to 1990.
The event started life in Southampton – before moving to its present location in nearby Portsmouth after just one year.
Dutchman Marti ten Kate and Alison Gooderham were winners of the inaugural event, which has gone on to attract the world’s top athletes.
One of the biggest highlights happened in 2008 when Britain’s Paula Radcliffe broke the British record in 51mins 11secs while the men’s race saw an equally dominant display from Kenya’s Bernard Kipyego, who won in a respectable time of 46:43.
The Bupa Great South Run is part of the Bupa Great Run series, devised by former Olympic 10,000m bronze medallist and BBC sports commentator Brendan Foster.
Taking part from JCA Coatings will be…
Steve West – Sales Director
Geoff Skillen – Regional Sales Manager
Gavin Hopper – Technical Sales Representative
Ian Shearer – Southampton Branch Manager
