Soudal UK team conquer the Wolf Run challenge

Last month, a team of ten colleagues from Soudal UK took part in the Wolf Run Summer Challenge at Stanford Hall estate in Leicestershire raising over £800 for the Lighthouse Charity.

The Lighthouse Charity provides 24/7 holistic support to the UK and Ireland construction community on all aspects of emotional, physical and financial wellbeing.

It offers a free and confidential 24/7 helpline and live web chat service which provides support on a huge variety of wellbeing issues. These services are complemented by their free self-support app.

The course was set across wild springs, dense woodland, lakes and streams which made the course as beautiful as it was challenging.

The Wolf Run’s uniqueness is said to be that it uses the land and nature itself to create over 30 obstacles, including a 100m water slide built with a natural hillside, nets strung through ancient woodland and fallen trees turned into barriers to name but a few.

Completing the 10k challenge were: Charlotte Marsden, Dom Acker, Jonathan Tanser, Rohan Rana, Tess Siggins and Thomas Ridgway.

And completing the 5k challenge were: Lauren De Meester, Adam Machin, Keith Ngan and Nathan Evans.

Sharon Cade, Trade Marketing Executive and lead for charity and community activities for Soudal UK, said: “We wanted to do something really challenging and it didn’t take long for the idea of the Wolf Run to come to the forefront.

“We’re so proud to have raised over £800 for the Lighthouse Charity and as well as fundraising for this amazing cause we have also been spreading the message of support with our teams and supply chain, sharing a series of social posts to promote the wonderful work that they deliver.

“The challenge was intense, but knowing that every muddy step was helping to support the construction community motivated the team over the finishing line,  exhausted but exhilarated!”

Sarah Bolton CEO of the Lighthouse Charity added: “What an epic effort! We’d like to say a huge thank you to the Soudal team for pushing themselves both emotionally and physically to complete the renowned Wolf Run.

“These hard earned funds will help us to continue to deliver our vital charitable services and the team should be very proud in knowing that their efforts will make a life changing difference to our community.”
