Bishop’s Move causes road block

Dec 20 | 2012

Bishop’s Move ensured that its largest vehicle proved an obstacle for competitors during the 2012 Road Block Run held in Holyrood Park, Scotland on Sunday 23 September.

The 10k charity fun run enables participants of all abilities to climb, slide and crawl their way around ten carefully planted obstacles all in the name of raising funds for Chest Heart & Stroke Scotland (CHSS).

The Bishop’s Move
vehicle was positioned so as runners approached, they were faced with the task of running up a side-ramp leading into the truck. They would then run through the truck and an 'inbuilt' obstacle course of cartons, before jumping out of the back door.

The theme of this year’s Road Block Run was ‘Life is full of obstacles – overcome yours’ which applied to both the participants, of which there were over 300, and those who the CHSS support on a daily basis.

Bishop’s Move has been supporting CHSS for more than six months. Through a unique ‘De-clutter Service’, Bishop’s Move removal men throughout Scotland provide home movers with CHSS Charity Donation Sacks prior to their move, should they wish to donate any unwanted items to the charity. On the day of the move the Bishop’s Move vans collect and store the items, which can range from clothes to electrical equipment, that are then collected by CHSS representatives. Bishop’s Move Edinburgh has so far received 5,000 bags for use on this project.
