- Rachel Clark

Staff from a Perth constructi­on company will be taking on the gruelling Great Glen Challenge for charity.

The team from Algo will be taking on the epic venture on Friday, August 31, which sees them travelling along the Great Glen Way from Fort Augustus to Neptune’s Staircase near Fort William.

The challenge sees teams competing against each other in a range of activities, including a 46km mountain bike ride, a 18km hike, 17km run and finally a 6km kayak to raise money for RSABI, a charity providing emotional and financial support to families in the agricultur­e industry.

Nicola Reid, office manager at Algo, said preparatio­ns are going well.

She said:“We have had a few group training sessions, running around the inch for example, along with some individual work at the gym.

“As long as we don’t finish last we will be pleased with our performanc­e.

“We are entering two teams of eight for this challenge. Team members

The team from Algo who will be taking part in the Great Glen Challenge include directors, site managers and constructi­on tradesmen.

“Everyone was very keen to roll up their sleeves and participat­e in this event to raise vital funds for the RSABI.”

The team are hoping to raise £2000 for the charity with the Great Glen Challenge. Nicola added: “As they saying goes, every little helps.

“Donations of any size are all very much appreciate­d.”
