PXtech takes to the track for charity

 
A speedy team of PXtech employees have laced up their running shoes to raise money for charity at the annual Derby 10k.

Racing the Cooper-Parry business challenge event, the PXtech team raised funds for Sporting Futures, a local charity that helps young people in disadvantaged areas of Derbyshire to engage in their local communities via sport.

First PXtech runner across the finishing line was software developer Kerry White, who clocked in an impressive 47 minutes.

Speaking of the race, technical director Adrian Howlett said, “It was a fantastic day and the whole team pulled together to put in a sterling performance. It’s very rewarding to support a local charity and we’ll definitely look forward to entering a team next year.” 

The sell-out event, now in its twelfth year, took place on Sunday 28 April, and is Derby’s largest road race.
