"Team Taxi" are finally there!

Paris Marathon Start


The Edinburgh Marathon turned out to be a tough event, as temperatures soared towards an unusually Mediterranean 30 degrees. Not to be deterred, however, Maurice and Greg pushed on to the end, carried on by support from hundreds of spectators all along the route.

The Team are pleased to announce that they have raised £651.50 between them, and that this will be divided amongst the deserving causes listed at the bottom of this page.

Wimpers of "Never Again" were soon replaced by "when's the next one?", so Pauline and Maurice are now entered for London in 2010!

The Team would like to thank everyone for all of their support. It has been great fun.


The Good Causes:

The three charities are each operated by members of the taxi trade, and provide outings and support for underprivileged and Special Needs children all over the UK
