Staff and students at Edinburgh Napier University took part in a 24-hour indoor charity cycle which raised £1100.
Fundraisers took to exercise bikes at the [EN]GAGE fitness centre at Sighthill for an event which saw their combined pedal power take them further than Moscow – more than 1500 miles.
Members of the [EN]GAGE team, university Triathlon club, Macmillan Movemore and coaches and players from the Sighthill-based Scottish Rugby Academy were among those who signed up for the marathon 1pm-1pm effort, in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
The event was organised by Dana Warnock and Gerry Higgins, fitness staff at [EN]GAGE. They cycled for 7.5 hours each and remained at the event for the full 24 hours.
Dana said: “It was a big challenge but it went really well. We added up our mileage to see how far we had travelled ‘as the crow flies’, and at the end an impressive 1581 miles were covered. I would like to thank all those who took part, supported the event, gave their time and donated their cash.”
