Claire Grinrod, Steven Meyerhoff, Andy Holland, Jonathon Backhouse came a very respectable 34th - with a finishing time of 7 hrs 17 min.
Celebrities included Liz McColgan, Ben Fogle, Nell McAndrew and Gavin Hastings. Liz McColgans team of tri-athletes came second.
The run raised money for Save the Children and was organised by transport operation First Group.
Claire said: “Save the Children is a charity doing some great work, and I jumped at the chance to take part in this run, which takes in some stunning scenery. Steven, Andy and Jonathan all bravely agreed to make up the numbers in the Backhouse Jones team, and I know they did themselves and the company proud!”
