The Eljays44 team took part in a ‘muddy’ charity event over the weekend, organised by horticultural charity, Perennial.

The ‘Nuts Challenge’ is an award-winning mud run, held several times throughout the year. Participants are required to work their way through water and obstacle courses, from climbing to crawling.

Three members of the Eljays44 team were amongst participants on Saturday, raising over £200 for the charity in under a week.

“Everyone in the Eljays44 sales team had an amazing day raising money for perennial,” says Eljays44 sales executive, Lewis Everle. “The course was challenging and took our breath away at times, our legs felt like jelly but the importance of the cause made it all worth it!”

The money raised in the Nuts Challenge goes towards supporting people employed in the horticulture sector, mentally, physically or financially.

“I would encourage everyone that can do it to come together and raise money for this fantastic charity. Thank you again to perennial!”

The team completed their run in just over two hours, and have plans to take part again next year.

Members from the Majestic Trees team also took part in the event, raising 118% of its target. The fastest of its team completed the course in just 49 minutes and 17 seconds, coming first out of more than 400 runners who completed the course.
