MIDLOTHIAN Nissan dealer Alex F Noble & Son has continued its support of the Edinburgh Marathon Festival by providing the hugely popular event with more vehicles than ever before.
The dealership provided 11 vehicles for this year’s event, which, with well over 30,000 entries from across the globe, is now Scotland’s biggest running festival and the second largest marathon event in the UK.
The fleet included three NP300 Navaras, one of which was used as the lead clock car, two branded X-Trails for race crew, and six NV200 and NV400 vans for transporting equipment across the city.
David Noble, Dealer Principal at Alex F Noble & Son Nissan said: “The Edinburgh Marathon Festival goes from strength to strength and has now topped our annual sponsorship programme for the last six years.
“This year saw us provide the largest number of vehicles to the EMF to date. All our eleven vehicles had to work harder than ever in fulfilling their various rolls, but I’m pleased to hear from the organisers, that all eleven have again acquitted themselves extremely well.”
Antonia Ward, partnership director of organizers, GSi Events Ltd, said: “This year’s event again saw over 30,000 runners taking part and 100,000 spectators attending from all over the world.
“With these consistently large numbers, we were asking a lot from our transport fleet, but yet again, the Nissan vehicle range supplied by Alex F Noble & Son covered all the bases and all vehicles were absolutely ideal for our purposes.”
