"As a team we are looking forward to joining in, whether for a personal best or simply enjoying the atmosphere on the day, and would encourage anyone considering the run to sign up." 

Siobhan Curtis, Head of Commercial at Run for All added, “MKM is a longstanding sponsor of the Hull 10K Corporate Challenge and Hull Half Marathon Team Challenge so we are delighted to announce MKM’s continued support for both events.

“The challenges are good fun and a great way of encouraging team spirit, as well as promoting a bit of friendly rivalry, and we are hugely appreciative of MKM’s support this 2022 season.”

The MKM Hull 10K Corporate Challenge and MKM Hull Half Marathon Team Challenge are both a race within a race, seeing teams of colleagues battle it out to be crowned the champions. Both challenges run alongside the main Hull 10K and Hull Half Marathon, but rather than competing as individuals, the challenge is to work collectively to cross the line in the quickest combined time.

Teams also get extra perks, including personalised team t-shirts to wear on race day, team prizes and, for the Hull 10K Corporate Challenge, race day hospitality.

Organised by Jane Tomlinson’s Run For All, the Hull Running Festival forms part of the Run For All series of runs which, along with Hull, includes events in Sheffield, Bury, Leeds, York, Derby, Nottingham, King’s Lynn, Ipswich, Bury, Burnley and Middlesbrough.
