eCapital Reading - Reading Half Marathon 2025 for Daisy's Dream
eCapital Reading Commercial Finance is raising money for Daisy's Dream
Story
Reading Half Marathon is a vibrant and energised race that is famous for some of the best crowd support you could wish for. Going since 1983, it takes is the buzz in our town centre, the beautiful University grounds and ends with a 15000 strong crowd in our very own football stadium.
Reading is home to eCapital Head Office and a few of our team have entered Reading Half Marathon in the past as individuals. This year we are thrilled to have been given an extra boost with the opportunity to run as a team of four in support of Daisy’s Dream.
eCapital will match fund every penny we raise. We look forward to supporting each other in our training and the lead up to the race and can’t wait to soak in the atmosphere of the day.
Quotes From Our Amazing Team:
Ange Burley - I’ve been running this race since 2005 and keep coming back. The crowd support is phenomenal! Looking forward to pounding the streets of Reading again with the eCapital team, whilst raising money for a very worthy cause.
Karl Mason - Proud to pull on the running vest for Daisy’s Dream again, looking forward to crossing the finish line (not so much the other part!)
Connie Maguire - I’m back for round two of the Reading Half Marathon! Last year, I took on the challenge for the first time, and despite a painful IT band, have somehow managed to convince myself to do it all over again. I will be running (or at least shuffling) to support the incredible charity, Daisy’s Dream!
Jason MacBeth - I ran a half Marathon when I was 15 years old and did a lot of running back when I was younger. After walking and running the half last year I was motivated to run the whole thing plus this is my 50th year so why not?
Daoud Ahmad - This is my first Reading half marathon! Looking forward to be running for Daisy's Dream alongside my colleagues
