In the female category Fast Feet on the Run won in a time of three hours and 50 minutes, beating Dunnington Primary School into second. The Sunday Shufflers, also from Dunnington, came home in third place.

Event lead Lynne Preston said: “The corporate relay brought an extra dimension to the event and gave organisations the opportunity to raise money for charity and make a bit of sporting history by taking part in the very first Plusnet Yorkshire Marathon.”
