The Checkout Supermarket Group has been Verulam Falcons AC anchor sponsor for the past 15 years and we have seen the Club grow with distinction due largely by the commitment, dedication and unstinting work ethic of its management committee. The Club has kept its sponsorship deal by delivering quality road races and wearing the checkout colours at road races expanding the Checkout brand.
Falcons can attribute its success by focusing on its core values and delivering accordingly. The simple formula of strong family values, sincerity and sound governance is the perfect mix for success and they are rolling on years effortlessly. Checkout commends the Club for its organizational expertise and admirable professionalism in accountability and administration.
Over the years the Checkout Marathon, half marathons and 10km events were superbly organized and are much talked about events. We are not surprised about the feedback as all events have been organized with precision and participants are treated as royalty. We applaud the organization of all road races organized.
The Checkout community and schools Fun Run had over the years had grown phenomenally and we note that monies generated from these fun runs had gone a long way in brightening the lives of the needy and to schools who require much needed funds. The concept is a fabulous one.
In 2017 Checkout opted for joining in the fun on the road and took charge of Refreshment Station No.9 on the long and arduous Fields Hill. The 50 strong Team Checkout were at the hydration station from the early hours of the morning as they prepared in earnest for the more than 17000 runners who were to pass their watering hole. They eagerly awaited the runners and handed them water and energade as they ran pass.
