Snow Problem! The Big Half – Stand Out Magazine

Snow problem! Site Event feature in the May 2018 issue of Stand Out Magazine all about The Big Half!

Back in March, we supplied the toilets for The Big Half in London. If you didn’t run in the Big Half, you may still remember the weekend it took place – but for a different reason. It was of course, the weekend it snowed across England! But that was “snow problem” for the team and runners at the Big Half who braved the great British weather! In fact, more than 11,000 runners from across the country took part in the race!

The idea for The Big Half emerged in Autumn 2015, reimagining the marathon course for a larger, unique half-marathon experience. With a reduced entry fee of £10, the race starts in Tower Hamlets and finishes in Greenwich, creating a strong community atmosphere. This inspired The Big Festival, held at the Greenwich Park finish line. Event director Andrew Smith of The Vitality Big Half noted, “The Big Festival celebrated diversity with London’s vibrant music scene and encouraged community groups and sports clubs to participate.”

Our Site Event loos were positioned in Greenwich Park, where the Big Festival took place. Despite the weather, our fantastic team were able to set up the eco loos, disabled loos, luxury toilet trailers, 4 man peepods, trackway and more.
