Team Desco completes Sunderland City 10k
Desco took part in the Sunderland City 10k run on Sunday, with 7 members of staff taking part in the challenge.
A huge well done to Ewan Simpson, Jake Timothy-Dorward, Jessica Selkirk, Josh Camm, James May, Molly Orchard and Paul Gibson, who completed the run.
The first Sunderland City 10K was held in 2011 with just over 1,500 taking part. Now one of the North’s biggest running events, 6,000 participants took to the city streets this year, completing a range of distances. Each participant received a medal for completing the race.
The route began on St Mary’s Way before runners cross the Wearmouth Bridge, through the university and along Roker seafront before heading into Roker Park before heading back to the city to St Mary’s Way.
After months of training and preparation, it’s great to see all that effort pay off on race day, no easy feat, especially when it comes to getting over that finish line!
Congratulations team, a fantastic achievement!
