Staff from Sir Robert McAlpine tested themselves to the limits on an urban adventure challenge, raising 4,000 for Radio Lollipop in the process.

The 12 members of staff made up four of the 230 teams who took part in the 9 to 5 London Rat Race in September. The event kicked off with a 5km running race through London’s financial district, followed by a gruelling 60km bike ride.

During the day the teams took on a host of challenges including a football assault course, abseiling down the Honourable Artillery Company building and a 3D navigation exercise below deck on HMS Belfast. The final event, at Tower Bridge, was an obstacle course which had to be completed whilst carrying a pitcher of water.

An enjoyable and exhausting day was had by all and plans are currently being made to repeat the challenge in 2010!
