One simple objective to share our passion for running

A team of Sofidel employees from all around the world, from different markets, different cultures and different languages, but with one common passion: running. This is what brings us together. Whether beginners/walkers, intermediate or advanced runners, we will all have the opportunity to become members of the Sofidel Running Team, to meet our colleagues who have the same passion, to participate in the collective challenge and to be provided with specialized running information, tips, training programs and personal advice from a professional Running partner.

One ambitious target TO RUN 24,901 MILES TOGETHER

For most of us, running is a continuous challenge: to go beyond our limits, test our determination, against the elements, against ourselves. We wanted to set ourselves a challenge as well, a target for the team to run collectively, and decided on the length of the equator: 24,901 miles or 40,075 kilometers. Who hasn’t dreamt of something so grand, even for just a moment, at least as a child? We will keep track of our progress throughout the year by aggregating our members’ submitted tracking data, and show the overall stats online and in periodic reports to all our members. It will be like a collective Sofidel embrace of our planet Earth, which in our daily jobs we are committed to respecting and safeguarding.

One good motivation TO SUPPORT A CHARITABLE CAUSE

We want to connect this with something that can make a difference, with a charitable cause, so that our passion for running and for a healthier lifestyle can also contribute to tangible results for those in need. We chose a charity partner, WaterAid, whose mission is to allow everyone, everywhere access to clean water and sanitation by 2030. A great cause which will help save lives - just one more reason to join and start running!
