April Running and Walking Challenge

10. 5. 2024

The fourth year of our unconventional teambuilding – an April running and walking challenge that combines improving physical fitness with charity – took place. The challenge motivated us to be regularly active and at the same time we contributed to the support of seniors.

Fourth edition of the challenge – rules

As in the previous year, the challenge was open to any employee who decided to run at least 30 km or walk at least 50 km in April. Participants chose their own mileage targets and those who successfully met them completed their personal challenge. This activity is thus mainly a struggle with one’s own forces.

Improving fitness and tackling long routes are not the only goals of this challenge. At the end of the challenge, we counted the total number of kilometres achieved by all participants and this was evaluated by the amount of money our company contributed to the seniors. This financial contribution will be used to provide support in the form of medical services, food purchases and other essential needs.

How the challenge went

We had a total of 20 employees participate in this year’s April Running or Walking Challenge, and we had participation from all three branches again this year. The target values for kilometres run or walked per participant ranged from 40 km to 333.33 km. Most of the targets were exceeded and the highest individual mileage was 346.29!

In total, we ran or walked an incredible 2,063 km in April! The reward for the finalists, i.e. those who reached or finished their goal, was a well-deserved breakfast of champions together with a commemorative medal.

We help with movement

Another motivation for our performance was the reward in the form of a financial gift, which our company donated to the seniors for the kilometres covered. We regularly donate to the Home for the Elderly in Bohunice, managed by the non-profit organization Naděje.

Not only do our employees support our clients there by donating Christmas gifts, but our entire company also lends its support. In return for all our miles, M Computers donated a monetary contribution to the home, which will be used to purchase necessities for the elderly.
