Past Events

Flora London Marathon 2009

For the first time ever, we had runners in the London Marathon. Neil Davidson, Graeme Stewart and Chris Don not only managed to complete the course but also raised a staggering £10,500 between them. Well done to the three of you.

The adidas Women's 5k Challenge 2008

This fun run for women of all ages took place in Hyde Park, London; the City Centre, Birmingham; and Sefton Park, Liverpool. We had a team of 18 women (plus "Desmond" our mascot) taking part in the Hyde Park event. They all wore our bright orange Bag Books t-shirts so that they stood out amongst the 30,000 other entrants!
