For the third year running the Nottingham Caesars manned a Lucozade drinks station at the 2008 Robin Hood Festival of Running. The Festival included a full marathon, half marathon and children's fun run. 

 

Players get ready for the onslaught.

“This event is becoming an annual fixture in the Caesar’s calendar, and is a great way of raising the profile of the club, and the fact that the game is played in the UK. With more than 10,000 runners taking part plus countless spectators we can get the message out to a large amount of people in a short space of time. Just as important is the fact that thousands of pounds have been raised for good causes. The reception we got from the runners and the crowds was great, several people have been following our progress this year and congratulated us for doing so well. As for the runners every single one was smiling by the time they had been past our station, as the Caesars gave plenty of encouragement and banter. Taking part in this event is always a great way to round the season off, as it is great fun and an antidote to the intensity of the season”, said Caesars Team Manager John Burnett.

Many good causes were represented.
