MAGNIFICANT EFFORT’: MPCT SMASH ‘ROUND THE WORLD’ CHARITY CHALLENGE

Learners and staff at the MPCT have run over 43,139 miles in 19 days during a ‘race around the world’ charity challenge.

MPCT decided to run an original distance of 24,860 MILES (in 19 days) in an attempt to lap an accumulative mileage of the earth, which is just short of 25,000 miles.

The college in Gloucester came top of the leader board out of all the 32 MPCT locations across the country – covering 2,631 – an incredible achievement.

The combined efforts of the staff and Learners has raised over £10,000 for NHS charities.

Worth a special mention, is the huge effort and distance travelled by our insirational you people

LEARNERS Leader Board

1 Ajaya Thapa Maga MPCT Aldershot 334
2 Kara Mallenby MPCT Newcastle 219
