Winkworth’s Famous Five Go The Distance In Reading Half Marathon

Five members of Winkworth’s staff demonstrated a steely mix of determination and staying power to complete the Reading Half Marathon.

They joined in with more than 12,000 elite and fun-runners to make this year’s event a runaway success.


The Winkworth participants were as follows: Tim Simpson (Sales Director); Kul Gidda (Technical Sales Engineer / Contracts Manager); Craig Dodd (Designer); Sheila Frith (Accounts) and Peter (“Minty”) Godfrey (Fitter).

Making his debut in the Reading Half Marathon, Tim raised more than £250 for The Mityana Charity, a Christian charity dedicated to improving the lives of people in Mityana, Uganda.

The five Winkworth employees were greeted by blue skies and applauding spectators as they competed in the town’s prestigious road running event, which began at Green Park and finished in the Madejski Stadium.
