Ahh Beethoven, Classical music composer who may have produced some of the best classical pieces to date. However he has now been challenged but not in a musical way...
The annual Beat Beethoven event is held in the Stirling University campus and challeges all competitors to run, jog or walk 5 kilometres. But the competitors are not racing eachother they are actually racing Beethovens Fifth Symphony – about 34 minutes. In amongst the many hundreds of people taking part were 11 MAD volunteers and the president Rebecca even managed to convince her boyfriend to join in.
The event always has a huge turnout with everyones eyes set on beating the symphony and bringing home the medal to show to everyone their amazing achievement. Even though some would argue it is an unfair race as Beethoven himself cannot take part .. for obvious reasons.
