A unique event to promote teamwork and exercise among your teams: Swimrun
Run in your wetsuit and swim with your shoes on all the way to the finish line, with your partner, in the nature. If the newness of the sport makes for a unique and fun event, it is the teamwork that it requires that makes or break athletes taking part in swimrun.
Very much like in the world of business, reaching your goal in swimrun can only be possible if everyone works together, coordinating their strength and helping each other along the way.
We created our swimrun events for companies looking to promote teamwork and exercise among their teams.
THIS IS NOT A RACE, THIS IS A TEAM ADVENTURE.
Our swimrun events are accessible for people of all fitness levels. Your team is divided into small groups of maximum 5 people, all accompanied by a trained coach who helps the group finish the course designed specifically for the event.
The goal isn’t to get to the finish line as fast as possible, it is to cross the finish line together and have fun doing so.
From course design to the smallest logistical details, we take care of everything so your group can focus on what is important: practicing a new sport together and helping each other achieve the goal.
Swimrun is the perfect activity to unite your team and to make everybody work together. The team is set to complete a challenge, together. Ultimately, this activity will improve the problem solving skills of your company.
What we do:
COURSE DESIGN
We prepare the course, from finding the perfect location together with you to
We have the ability to design the perfect swimrun course in any environment, as long as we have water to swim in!
TEAM LEADERS
In order to give your team the best possible experience on D-day, we assign a professional swimrun team leader to each group.
Team leaders encourage, help out, show the way to their group while making sure everyone is having a good time.
EVENT Logistics
Tent, food, rest areas, storage, signs, warm-up, safety…
We know how to organize a smooth-running sports event and we deliver a great experience to both participants and organizers.
ATHLETE PREPARATION
We produce and distribute some preparation material to get your team excited about the event and help them prepare.
Upon request, we can also organize training sessions (both running and swimming) over the weeks leading up to the event.
Giving your team the possibility to train and encouraging them to do so before the event is a good way to inspire them to be active over a longer period of time.
SWIMRUN GEAR
Swimrun is practiced wearing a wetsuit and trail running shoes adapted to water sports, swim goggles, a swim cap, a tow-rope and a bib.
We help you procure the gear for your team, and help them with any additional equipment related decisions.
We can also customize the swim cap and bib to the colors of your company, and your team gets to keep them as a souvenir of the event!
EXTRA SERVICES
Would you like a photographer or a videographer to document your event?
Would you like your team to gather for a meal at a nearby restaurant or have a food truck ready to serve them hot dogs, burgers or maybe smoothies?
Our broad network of partners can deliver any service you might like to add on to make your event extra special.
