Interfood at Strong Viking

Why should you participate with colleagues at Strong Viking?

It all starts with teamwork! Creating memories together and facing challenges in a completely different environment fosters stronger connections among colleagues. This bonding extends beyond the event and positively impacts performance at work.

 

How many colleagues joined you at the start?

This year, we had fifteen participants at the start. A great mix of colleagues from various departments took on the challenge together. It wasn’t limited to just one department or a small group. Anyone can participate. Two colleagues ran the 7 km, seven colleagues the 13 km, and six colleagues the 19 km. You don’t need to have the same fitness level; everyone can join at their own pace.

 

What was the highlight of your day?

For everyone, the highlight was definitely crossing the finish line. Facing distances from 7 km to 19 km, staying together as a team, and motivating each other was a significant achievement. Boundaries were pushed, and colleagues got to know each other in a new way.

 

How do you get your colleagues to the starting line?

Hearing enthusiastic stories from your own colleagues sparks interest. Discussions in the break rooms and hallways about who will be on the registration list get people excited. Everyone encourages one another.

 

We also have our own gym at Interfood with professional guidance where colleagues can prepare well. Through challenges and training sessions, they get ready for the Strong Viking run.

 

Is this an annual event for you?

Yes, it’s an annual event for us. It’s so much fun and excellent for team building.

 

When will we see you at the starting line again?

We will definitely be there again next year. We’re already looking forward to it!

 

Lastly: Do you have any tips for other companies considering participation?

I would almost say it’s a must to participate in Strong Viking with colleagues, and we highly recommend it to everyone! Employees stay fit, and it really builds team spirit and collaboration, which positively affects the workplace.
