Four employees of the Rolle Associates in the capital are looking forward to their first ever Island Chill Suva Marathon this weekend.

Athlete, Kelerea Kuboutawa say with majority of their time spent in offices, she and her colleagues have come up with a good idea for team building.

“From what I have heard, it’s quite tough. There is a lot of competition in it. We know that the people taking part need to be really fit. It is going to be a tough race.”

Close to one thousand five hundred athletes are expected to take part in this year’s event.

The Suva Marathon begins at 6am at Thurston garden on Saturday.
