Twenty Wetherspoon employees are aiming to raise £250,000 for their chosen charity, CLIC Sargent, by competing in the London Marathon.

Team Wetherspoon consists of head office staff and pub managers, including chief executive John Hutson.

To date Wetherspoon customers and staff have raised £3 million for CLIC Sargent, Wetherspoon's official charity partner, which provides services to help children with cancer and their families.

John Hutson said: "We are all committed to completing the marathon and raising an additional £250,000 for the charity. Every member of the team has been training hard and we're now looking forward to the big day."

CLIC Sargent's corporate account manager, Amanda Chatterton, said: "CLIC Sargent and Wetherspoon staff will be cheering on the runners from our vantage point at The Liberty Bounds, a Wetherspoon pub at mile 23 along the route."
