Ricoh rolls out print run for Virgin London Marathon

Ricoh has ensured that participants and attendees of last weekend's London Marathon were kept up to speed with each race result by printing and distributing collateral throughout the event.

The manufacturer was the ‘Official Race Results and Reprographics Provider’ for this year's marathon and was responsible for scanning, sending, printing and delivering results during the event.

Ricoh was charged with producing the documentation for the 600 men’s and 600 women’s elite results, 600 unratified women’s championship results and 600 men’s and 600 women’s wheelchair results. 

Chas Moloney, marketing director at Ricoh UK, said: "The London Marathon is a phenomenal event and Ricoh UK is proud to have played such as pivotal role in ensuring its print requirements were met professionally and within the very precise timescales."

He added: "Perhaps the biggest and most exciting change this year for Ricoh, was the placement of one of our MPC4500s on the finish line.

"The device took pride-of-place at the Marathon’s Media Sub-Centre on The Mall, where it was used to scan race results back to Marathon HQ, after they had been hand-signed by the official men’s and women’s race referees."
