Get Fit for Business - 5k Workplace Challenge Aberdeen
Tuesday 16th June marks the beginning of this years Co-operative jogscotland 5k Challenges, and once again Team Challenge Company and jogscotland have joined forces to offer you and your workplace the chance to get out of the office and sign up for The 5k Workplace Challenge.
The 5k Workplace Challenge aims to promote healthy lifestyles within the workplace and help company employees get fit for business. Workplaces are encouraged to register a team for the Challenge and compete across the various legs of The Co-operative jogscotland 5k Challenges to win a team day out with Team Challenge Company, all whilst raising money for charity. Stephen Hazley, Director of Team Challenge Company said, “Team Challenge Company is proud and privileged to sponsor The 5k Workplace Challenge, and assist with raising as much money for charity as possible whilst encouraging corporate clients out of the office and into their trainers.”
The Aberdeen leg of the campaign, which takes place on Tuesday 16th June at Haddo Country Park on Tuesday, is the first of 5 opportunities for corporate teams to compete in The 5k Workplace Challenge, with prizes for the top team at each challenge venue, as well that final overall prize of a team day with Team Challenge Company for the top team in the series, which concludes on 30th June in Edinburgh.
Team Challenge Company’s very own Dozer the Clown is to take up the challenge and raise as much money for charity as he can be jogging the 5k route at Haddo Country Park in his full clown attire, maybe even partaking in a spot of juggling on his way round. Dozer is a very popular member of Team Challenge Company, and always a big hit at the numerous Corporate Events he attends. It is hoped that his participation will inspire others to take on The 5k Workplace Challenge and play their part in raising money for charity and support a very worthy cause. Why not come along and see if you can spot Dozer the Clown out on the Haddo Country Park course, he should be fairly easy to find.
Alistair Currie, Manager of jogscotland said, “Thanks to Team Challenge Company for showing their support of The Co-operative 5k challenge series.”
“With entertainment, prizes and goody bags, plus the welcoming and friendly jogscotland atmosphere, The Co-operative jogscotland 5k Challenges are not to be missed.”
