A TEAM from Petersfield business Feefo is undertaking the monumental Race to the King challenge to raise money for charity.

Race to the King is an ultra-marathon event, starting near Arundel before weaving 53.5 miles over the beautiful South Downs, past Petersfield to the finish at Winchester Cathedral.

Feefo is an invite-only reviews platform who in 2012 opened their HQ on Heath Farm, Heath Road East, and support the charity ‘Just a Drop,’ so far raising nearly £8,000 for it.

Just a Drop provides clean, safe and accessible water to the poorest countries of Asia, Africa and Latin America.

It was set up in 1998 by a managing director of the World Travel Market, and is supported by members of the international travel industry – to which Feefo provides feedback solutions.

A Feefo spokesman said: “The intrepid team of eleven have been training hard, with runs, hikes and endurance training to give themselves the best chance of completing the challenge.

“Some have run up and down Butser Hill, while others have given up their weekends to practise on the 21 mile Hangers Way.”

The race to the King event takes place on Saturday, (June 25) and is just one the teams fundraising efforts.Last year, they conquered the National Three Peaks Challenge by climbing the highest peaks of England, Scotland and Wales within 24 hours, among a host of other feats.

Feefo chief executive Andrew Mabbutt said: “Feefo is made up of an extremely passionate bunch of people, and that spills out into our commitment to fund raising. We’re thrilled to be taking part in a national event right here on our doorstep.”
