5,000 runners across 1,000 teams from the best and the brightest companies in Dublin and further afield took to the Phoenix Park last night, on the hottest day of the year to run as teams in the PwC Staff Relay Series.
That meant 5,000 runners in total, as big and lively a tented village as you’ll see at any corporate event this summer and a lot of fun.
This was PwC’s first year of a three year partnership with the run and given how this event sold out in record time it is likely that the game will be raised even further in years to come.
Managing Partner Fergal O’Rourke led from the front on one of the teams entered but this was an event that spread across the business community.
Teams from Dunnes Stores, Primark and Mace went head to head, as did those from banks, software houses, insurance companies and the Dublin Airport Authority.
Indeed if ever there was a night to switch off and kick back with colleagues it should have been this with the mercury nudging north of 23 degrees in the City’s biggest green space.
Here are a selection of images from the night. Well done to all who took part and hopefully the blisters won’t be too bad this morning…
