Lamborghini Challenges RAF And Army To Go Head To Head In Marathon Relay

Italian supercar makers Lamborghini has challenged the Royal Air Force and the British Army to compete against one another at this year's Edinburgh marathon relay.

The teams of four will be racing to see who can raise the most money for their respective service charities - the RAF Benevolent Fund and ABF The Soldier's Charity.

In return, the relay teams will be treated to a special pasta party, courtesy of the Italian car makers.

Charles Dunphie, Scottish director of ABF the Soldiers' Charity, said:

"We are delighted that Lamborghini was able to sponsor the pasta party for supporters of the army and national trust charities running the relay in this years Edinburgh marathon."

This year is also the 100th anniversary of the creation of the Royal Air Force, born out of the British Army and Royal Navy at the end of WW1.

The marathon will take place on Sunday 27 May.
