Two teams from Ideal Boilers have entered the RB Hull Marathon, which is staged around Kingston upon Hull’s historic streets on 13 September, to raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK and Macmillan.

Ideal’s teams, from departments across the business will take on the challenging course in relay sections. They will join more than 1,000 runners, taking in landmarks such as Hull City’s KC Stadium, the city’s Maritime Museum and some glorious countryside.

'I haven’t run since 2005, but I’m looking forward to competing as a team and the challenge it presents,” said one of the runners, Chris Caton. “The fact we’ve decided to run to raise money for cancer sufferers is really amazing, both charities are very worthy causes, close to all our hearts.”
