LGN Run Club's Inter Advertising 5km | 2011

The results:

LGN Run Club's Inter Advertising 5km 2011 edition demonstrated a shift in LGN Run Club strength away from the creative & historical powerhouses and into the arms of cost per thousand / high frequency media passion.

LGN 5km trophy on the move:

The closest race in it's 5 year history saw the LGN Inter Advertsing 5km trophy move from it's long term DDB Paddington home to a new West End display cabinet owned by OMG UK - congratulations to all the OMG team!

It may come as no surpise to learn since January OMG UK have joined the ranks of companies getting fitter via our in-house LGN Run Club service.

The LGN team would like to salute DDB for putting up the best possible defence of their crown by actually running 5 seconds quicker as team than when they won the trophy in 2010, but it wasn't to be and in fact their fastest time did not secure the second step on the podium as another media agency in the shape of Carat UK showed that 2011 was indeed the year of the calculator. 

Closer than Glenn at 8am on the Northern Line:

The results were so close amongst the top four teams that LGN had to cross refence all chip timing results with video footage of the finish line to confirm each individual runner. And indeed only 66 seconds seperated OMG UK's victory from Carat's noble charge, with DDB only 11 seconds slower than Carat UK and superb team running from 2009 winners McCann Worldgroup in 4th place just 41 seconds adrift of DDB!
