Hundreds of businessmen and women will pull on their trainers in a bid to take the title of fastest firm in the city on Sunday, July 9. The challenge has grown into a popular feature of the Asda Foundation Leeds 10K. It is open to teams of at least five members – there is no upper limit. Clarion has sponsored the challenge since 2007. McDermott met Clarion joint managing partner Roger Hutton and Mike Tomlinson from race organiser Run For All at a networking lunch as part of the build-up to the event.
