Seven runners from the Birmingham office of financial services firm Mazars will mount their first attempt on the Business Challenge in the later this year.

The tax, audit and financial planning teams will be represented by three women and four men to raise funds for Papyrus, the charity which aims to prevent suicide among young people.

Laurence Moore from the team said: "We are all delighted to have the opportunity to run in the Great Birmingham Run and are really looking forward to the challenge.

"We are of course proud to be representing Mazars but also hope that it raises awareness for such a worthy charity."

Ahead of this year's half marathon, race organisers are encouraging Business Challenge teams with the winning team awarded a training session with a professional coach.

Business Challenge teams must be a minimum of four people and a maximum of eight but companies can enter as many teams as they want in male, female or mixed-sex categories.

Mixed teams must have a minimum of two men and two women.

Team members must be 16 years of age or over on race day and placings are based on the accumulated first four finishing times in each team.
