Members of Plowman Craven\u2019s Property team have been celebrating some fantastic running and walking achievements. They have taken on personal challenges, set new records and raised money for causes close to their hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From half marathons in London and Rome to a Halloween walk along the Thames, there has been plenty to celebrate. Another ambitious challenge is coming up in December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam Beats Target<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Adam Walton, Lead Surveyor, <\/strong>completed the Royal Parks Half Marathon on 11 October, raising money for the Multiple Sclerosis Society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adam had set himself a target of two hours and ten minutes. He crossed the finish line in two hours and five minutes, <\/strong>beating his goal by five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An enjoyable route and perfect weather helped make it a memorable day. Additionally, his preparation delivered the result he had worked towards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe race was brilliant,\u201d Adam said. \u201cTo top it off, I beat my goal time, so the training paid off!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taha\u2019s Rome Success<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Taha Azab, Project Coordinator<\/strong>, travelled to Italy with his running club, Stay Ready, for the Wizz Air Rome Half Marathon on 18 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having completed The Big Half on 6 September in 2:18:59, Taha was determined to improve his time. He also wanted to enjoy the sights of Rome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He finished in 2:06:12, setting a new personal best and taking 12 minutes and 47 seconds off his previous result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe race was amazing from start to finish,\u201d Taha said. \u201cRunning through Rome with all the sights is something else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although he had hoped to finish in under two hours, his substantial improvement was an achievement to be proud of. It was another step towards that goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bav\u2019s Thames Challenge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bav\u2019s Thames Challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bhavesh (Bav) Naran, Principal Consultant, Asset Management<\/strong>, has completed two walking challenges along the Thames, combining time with family with a commitment to improving his physical and mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In September, Bav and his wife Jessica took on the 25km Thames Bridges Ultra Challenge, building on walks they had enjoyed in the Lake District earlier in the year. Starting in Putney at 10am, they followed the Thames, stopping for a brief break at The Oval cricket ground before continuing across the bridges to finish in Bermondsey at 3.45pm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c25km was probably a bit too ambitious for me, but I definitely felt a degree of satisfaction and relief when we crossed the finish line,\u201d Bav said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bav, Jessica and their son Aiden then completed the Halloween 10k Ultra Challenge. <\/strong>Starting and finishing at The Oval, the early evening walk followed both banks of the Thames, offering a chance to enjoy London after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trio finished in just over two hours, with a navigational detour adding a little extra time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt would\u2019ve been a bit under if I wasn\u2019t fully complicit in us going the wrong way,\u201d Bav admitted. \u201cAnd I keep boasting I\u2019m a geographer\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting Young Lives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jim Gregory, Managing Director, <\/strong>(pictured here with his wife), signed up for the Dirt Half Challenge on 7 November. He combined a personal challenge with fundraising for a charity close to his heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 13.1 mile trail race in Bedfordshire was an opportunity to support Transforming Lives for Good (TLG). This is a Christian charity helping children and families facing hardship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with schools and churches across the UK, TLG provides mentoring informed by an understanding of trauma. It also offers education support and holiday meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those who would like to support Jim\u2019s fundraising can visit his JustGiving page<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Abdullah\u2019s Three Peaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Abdullah Ali, Surveyor,<\/strong> is preparing to take on the National Three Peaks Challenge in early December, raising money in support of Kidney Care UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His fundraising will help the charity provide Christmas gifts and other support for people and families affected by kidney conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf anyone is able to donate, or even share my fundraiser with others, it would be greatly appreciated,\u201d Abdullah said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can support Abdullah by donating through his fundraising page<\/a> or sharing it with others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Celebrating Every Mile<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From achieving faster race times to supporting charities and enjoying a challenge with others, each colleague has had their own motivation for getting involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Congratulations to Adam, Taha and Bav on their achievements. Thank you to Jim for his fundraising efforts, and good luck to Abdullah as he prepares for December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
