Sport Relief is a charity event from Comic Relief in association with BBC Sport, bringing together sport and entertainment to help raise money for global causes.

Although they didn’t quite run a marathon (or 43 marathons, for that matter), they did take part in the three-mile race and all managed to complete it in under 35 minutes. Well done guys!

Our overall target was £300, but the boys managed to smash that and raise a total of £656.51! And as if that wasn’t enough, Mike Towle, Managing Director of Media Hut, has agreed to match the sum raised – totalling a staggering £1313.02!
