Marathon Celebrates The Holidays - 1st Annual Drain Hoisting Contest

Marathon Employees find time for some fun to start the holiday season. The entire staff participated in the 1st annual drain hoisting contest where they were asked to hoist one of insert drains with a clamping ring combine weighing close to five pounds. It was a great team building exercise as well as very competitive. As the time ticked by, 1-minute, 2-minute, 3-minutes, some started to drop out as few continued. Roberta in our accounting office was the champion for the women with just over 4 minutes beating even some of our strong men. Great job by her for sure. Finally, there were two, Nick our intern from the US Army and Chris our Marketing lead, were amazing and toughed it out until more than 6 minutes passed and Chris was victorious. The winning time was clocked at 6 minutes and 18 seconds. The winners got a half day off and everyone enjoyed the event followed by a lunch which included a 3-foot-long sub as a centerpiece. What a great way to kick off the holidays. Cheers everyone.
