Company walk instead of company run
Getting fit with colleagues after work - training for company runs seems to be an attractive alternative to the gym, as company runs have been growing in popularity for years. Being active together after work, promoting team spirit - these are the actual goals of a company run. While jogging is often too much of a hurdle for many people, walking can be done by almost anyone. With the "Team Walk by BIG direkt gesund", the creators of bunert Events have designed a sports format that is not meant to exclude anyone.
Start and finish at Regattahaus
Held for the first time in 2022 on Baldeneysee the hiking event will enter its second round on August 23, 2023. After work, companies, families or friends can hike a circular route of around eight kilometers in a team on the Baldeneysee hike the route. This year, the start and finish are located in front of Regattahaus right next to the regatta parking lot at the Baldeneysee. The race starts at 5.30 p.m. - in a relaxed atmosphere, of course.
Action and variety
"At Team Walk , we provide action and variety and give you an exciting walking tour that your entire team can take part in," promises Christian Hengmith, Managing Director of bunert Events , and adds: "Afterwards, we celebrate, drink and eat in a cozy atmosphere at our after-walk party." With this alternative to the company run, competition falls by the wayside. The focus is on the shared experience.
Trend sport hiking
"Walking and hiking have become a trend for many people in recent years, which we wanted to pick up on," says Hengmith. "We want to offer an event to people who like to be active but break out in a sweat at the mere mention of a company run. The Team Walk by BIG direkt gesund is therefore THE walking event for companies and teams." In addition to the pilot event last year on Baldeneysee the first starting signal was given for the Team Walk in Duisburg in May and the teams will also lace up their walking shoes in Dortmund on September 6, 2023.
