Athletic staff at Lloyds TSB on the Island will be posting an out-of-office note on their PCs and  pulling on their trainers instead on Friday, for an Olympic charity run between the bank's branches totalling more than 89 kilometers. 

The relay by twelve colleagues will set off from Peveril Buildings in Douglas at 8.30 am, running first to Lloyds TSB Castletown branch then to Peel and jogging onwards to Ramsey.

They'll run back over the mountain with the last runner expected to finish footsore but triumphant at Victory House at 6.50 pm.

The runners are being sponsored and the money raised will go to the Diana Princess of Wales Care at Home Trust which helps provide hospice care at home in the Island.

You can sponsor the runners at the Just Giving website:
