Sport
The business park is adjacent to the Madejski Stadium, home of Reading Football Club and the London Irish rugby club. The annual Reading Half Marathon starts from within the business park, which provides the space needed for pre-race marshalling of the large numbers of competitors, and finishes in the stadium. In the 2012 Marathon, runner Jed Clarke, father-of-two from Tilehurst, died moments after crossing the finishing line after suffering a heart-attack.

Famous quotes containing the word sport:
“Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence: in other words it is war minus the shooting.
”
—George Orwell (1903–1950)
