Involvement

With 60 runners in five teams drawn from across our offices, aided by round-the-clock operational support during the event from non-running volunteers from all levels of the organization, one-quarter of the worldwide Advent community actively participated in the 36-hour day/night race.

Outcome

Each international team chose a different charity and team members raised funds for projects with personal relevance. Other participation benefits identified by Advent team members included individual health and wellbeing, global teambuilding and friendship, shared responsibility and collective achievement.
