Seafarer Welfare Charity, Mission to Seafarers Launches First-ever Maritime Mountain Race
Seafarer welfare charity The Mission To Seafarers (MtS) has announced the launch of its first-ever Maritime Mountain Race, an endurance event scheduled for September 13 to 15, 2024.
The action-packed race, to be held amid the breathtaking Bouveret region overlooking Lake Geneva, will include 32 teams of three trail hikers and runners from the maritime community.
The participants will trek through the rugged terrain of the Swiss Alps, passing through lush forests, hidden pathways, and magnificent views of the Alps and Lake Geneva.
Participants are encouraged to raise at least $5,000 per team, with rewards granted to the top fundraisers.
Entries are available in two difficulty levels: hiking and running, catering to both experienced athletes and those seeking a challenging yet achievable challenge.
The last date for team registration is Wednesday, July 31st, 2024.
The Maritime Mountain Race is more than a physical challenge; it celebrates collaboration, perseverance, and a shared dedication to seafarers’ well-being.
Participants will have two evenings in a neutral, charity-driven setting to build connections and meet with other industry professionals.
The event will begin with a welcome reception and finish with a Gala Dinner at César Ritz Colleges Switzerland in Le Bouveret.
Jan Webber, Director of Development at The Mission to Seafarers, emphasized the race’s importance, stating that the Maritime Mountain Race offers the shipping industry an adrenaline-fueled opportunity to commemorate the power of teamwork, adventure, determination, and a shared commitment to the welfare of seafarers.
In addition to the challenge of two days on Alpine trails overlooking Lake Geneva, participants will have the opportunity to network, connect, and forge lasting connections with industry colleagues over two evenings.
Sponsorship possibilities are available for businesses and individuals seeking branding and networking opportunities.
Current sponsors include Cargill Ocean Transportation (gold) and Holman Fenwick Willan (polo shirt).
The Mission to Seafarers is well-known for hosting high-quality events with meticulous attention to detail. This inaugural race promises to provide a genuinely unique experience for all participants.
