The long walk

The Orwell challenge

Sunday, the 25th June, was the hottest day of 2023 so far, so it was with some trepidation that 29 members of the Getech staff and some of their families participated in The Orwell Challenge, an annual charity walk and run along the banks of the River Orwell from Ipswich to Felixstowe and back. The Challenge comprises several routes of varying distance for people of all abilities, including the Lexington Loop of 13 miles, Fishpond Folly stretching to 19 miles or the full Orwell 25 for the bravest of souls willing to push their bodies for 25 miles in the searing heat. 

The core of the event is a fun day out for the whole family with the chance to enjoy our beautiful Suffolk countryside and the opportunity to help many local charities and causes. Team Getech decided to support two charities helping one of our colleagues, Cara Jones, during her battle with cancer: The Woolverstone Centre and The John Le Vay Centre, both at the Ipswich Hospital. 

Special mention must go to Iden Marsh, one of our warehouse assistants and Cara’s nephew, who ran the marathon course. In total, the Getech walkers and runners completed a combined distance of 396 miles, with everyone making it home safely – if a little sore! Despite not knowing the final fund-raising total, our JustGiving page has surpassed the £4,000 mark.
