Pareto FM will be sponsoring the Shrewsbury Half and Metric Half Marathon on 8th October.
The facilities management company's support for the event which promotes a healthier and active lifestyle follows its #FM10 wellbeing campaign during lockdown.
The marathon, which takes place annually in Shrewsbury, attracts over 1,200 runners of all abilities and starts and finishes at The West Midlands Showground, taking in parts of the medieval town of Shrewsbury along its route.
Furthermore, this year Pareto are supporting the Shropshire Primary Schools Half Marathon which will see more than 1,200 children aged between 4 and 11 from 23 schools in the country completing 12 of the 13.1 miles in stages at their school over a number of weeks.
The final stage is completed at the West Midlands Showground in April.

Through the partnership, Pareto will provide essential support, including funding for the event, which ensures that the children’s half marathon entry fee remains the same price for another year.
Chris Barnes, Associate Director, comments. “We are committed to promoting health and wellness in our communities and are excited to partner with the Shrewsbury Half & Metric Half Marathon and Shropshire Primary Schools Half Marathon to support runners of all ages as they push their limits and achieve their goals.
“The partnership between Pareto and the marathon highlights the importance of physical activity and the role that corporate social responsibility can play in fostering healthy communities.”
