Housebuilder staff are preparing to run a marathon to raise money for charity.

The Barratt Homes Romsey Relay Marathon, organised by the Rotary Club of Romsey Test, will take place on May 18 at the Broadlands Estate.

Teams of 10 will collectively run the equivalent of a marathon, taking turns to run two laps of a 1.3-mile course at Broadlands Park.

As headline sponsor, staff at Barratt David Wilson Homes Southampton division will be taking part to raise funds for Barratt's two chosen charities, Home Start and Heartbeat.

Megan Hamlyn, marketing manager at Barratt David Wilson Homes Southampton division, said: "We are incredibly proud to support the Romsey relay, an event that brings the community together and a chance for us to raise some much needed funds for our chosen charities."

The Romsey Relay first took place in 2013 and has now become a firm fixture in the Romsey calendar.
