Mercedes-Benz Brentford will be sponsoring the award-winning Ealing Half Marathon for the second year running as part of its community support programme.

The West London Retailer, part of the Mercedes-Benz Retail Group, will be providing a new Mercedes-Benz B-Class that will be used to promote the event and will be seen around town in the months leading up to the race, to be held on Sunday 28 September.

Taking part among the expected 6,000 runners will be a team from Mercedes-Benz Brentford including General Manager Trevor Webb, who has contested the event since the first Ealing Half Marathon in 2012 and will be raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

“The Ealing Half Marathon provides the perfect opportunity for the team at Mercedes-Benz Brentford to get involved with the local community. I always enjoy competing and we are proud to get behind the race for the second year running,” said Trevor Webb, General Manager at Mercedes-Benz Brentford.

Starting near to Mercedes-Benz Brentford on Great West Road, the Ealing Half Marathon has recently become the number one half marathon in the UK[1] and is one of only three half marathons in London held on fully closed roads.

“The Ealing Half Marathon is a real community event with a great atmosphere and it’s important that local businesses also get involved to ensure its continued success. We are excited to welcome back Mercedes-Benz Brentford for a second year as both sponsors and competitors,” said Sandra Courtney, Ealing Half Marathon event co-ordinator.
