World's Fastest Marching Band Nominated for ‘Creative Fundraiser of the Year' Award



West Yorkshire, UK - The world’s fastest marching band is hoping to win another accolade – this time for its quirky method of fundraising.  The Huddersfield Marathon Band, which holds the world record for the fastest band to complete a marathon, has been shortlisted for Just Giving’s Creative Fundraiser of the Year award. The 31-strong marching band completed the 2014 London Marathon in 6:56:44 to regain the world record for ‘the fastest marathon by a marching band’. In the process the band raised £68,000 for Sense, a charity for people who are deaf and blind. www.fundraising-ideas.org
