On Friday 30th April, 25 Scott Bader UK colleagues attempted the mammoth challenge of walking or running 100k in a day! Their amazing efforts were in aid of Scott Bader’s Centenary year and to raise money for MIND; a UK-based mental health charity.
The event consisted of teams making up the 100k between them and a few brave enough to attempt the feat individually.

The individuals set off at 07:00am and the teams at 10:00am. Their routes stayed local to Scott Bader’s headquarters with 5k – 10k variants, all starting and finishing at the entrance to Scott Bader.

The total distance covered reached a massive 724 kilometres (450 miles) in total, an average of over 18 miles per person, with one colleague incredibly completing the distance on their own in just over 11hrs!
