Pound Gates Insurance Brokers | Ipswich Half Marathon

A gruelling race with (too) many hills but a fantastic effort all round. Most importantly the whole team completed the course and Lea was there to greet everyone at the finishing line, which made it a perfect ending and all worthwhile.

The weather was kind on the day albeit a little too windy in the rural areas, but the temperature was perfect and the rain held off. Lots of other Pound Gates employees and their families came out to support us and that did help spur on the runners. There were several shouts from members of the public 'Come on Pound Gates' who no doubt had read the East Anglian Daily Times article on Saturday 28th August.

Needless to say the lift was more extensively used in our offices on Tuesday morning! A few runners are even planning to continue running to keep fit.

At this time the grand total for Lea and Advance stands at £4,541 (91%) but with gift aid the target of £5,000 has been exceeded!

Official results for Team Pound Gates were as follows:

101	Paul Nedd	1:34.26
131	Rob Thacker	1:38.52
532	Terry Pryke	2:02.18
703	Dave Collins	2:23.30
722	Del Sharman	2:30.09
736	Keri Morgans	2:35.31
747	Matt Holmes	2:43.06
748	Laura Alcock	2:43.06
767	Shirley Mills	3:15.10
