The team based in Yorkshire, will be running the 13 mile half marathon on 26th April 2009.

John Havers, Technician for BBUS said: "We're all keen sportsmen and like to take part in sporting events. There is a bit of rivalry in the office so it may turn into a race, just for a laugh!"
 
Katie Grinter, Local Community Fundraiser for Marie Curie Cancer Care said: "Sheffield Half Marathon is such a huge event to happen in the area, by running to support Marie Curie Cancer Care you will be raising much needed funds to support the local nursing service as well as getting super fit!"
