Run for a good cause within the Hervis Prague Half Marathon
The first Saturday in April, Hervis Prague Half Marathon took place. Our office was represented by two relay teams made of lawyers, associates and students, who gathered to support the charity event called “Run for a good cause”. Because we donated a certain amount of money to our partner, Agency for Professional Counselling for the Deaf, we received start numbers both for Randls Ladies and Randls Gentlemen teams from them. Therefore, we ran from start to finish not only with athletic enthusiasm, but also with a sense of doing something good for others. After a little misunderstanding around passing the relay-stick, the Ladies team finished in the back of the starting field, whereas the Gentlemen team ended up at very good 98th place from the 321 teams participating.
Some pictures from the Hervis Prague Half Marathon can be found here.
