Marathon In Manchester

Our work with Cancer Research UK comprised an illuminated overnight 26-mile marathon walk for 7,500 people. The marathon started at 10PM at Manchester Central (G-MEX) and went on till the next morning. 35 X CORE Lighting POINTS30 in combination with Battery IP64 & IP65 outdoor units were used to light up key points during the marathon walk. The colours were set to magenta and blue – Cancer Research UK’s colour scheme.

About Cancer Research UK

Cancer Research UK was formed in 2002 and is the world’s largest Independent cancer research charity. It is a charity that focusses on research and awareness. Cancer Research UK’s vision is: “to bring forward the day when all cancers are cured’. In the 1970s, less than a quarter of people with cancer survived. But over the last 40 years, survival has doubled – today half will survive according to Cancer Research UK.

Why CORE Lighting was used for the marathon

We were able to provide weatherproof, bright, portable, strong coloured, wireless CORE Lighting POINTS30, that were easy to set up before the marathon. The units were transported through a flight case, in which they were charged. Because the units are easily usable it only took a couple of minutes to set them all up. The concerned rest point and first aid centre outside Manchester United FC were fully illuminated during the marathon.
