Salomonin testikengät esittelyssä

By

Bodom Trailin kevään 2023 yhteislenkit lähenevät! Lue ohjeet lenkeille osallistumisesta tästä uutisesta. Keskiviikkojen 19.4. ja 26.4. lenkeillä on mahdollisuus kokeilla Salomonin malliston uusimpia tulokkaita. Testikenkinä ovat S/LAB Pulsar 2 ja Ultra Glide 2. Tässä kenkien luonnehdinnat:

Salomon S/LAB PULSAR 2

S/LAB PULSAR 2 on saanut inspiraationsa Salomonin huippu-urheilijoilta ja heidän ennätysjuoksuistaan. Se esittelee uusinta S/LAB-tekniikkaa ja -osaamista. Se on yhtä kevyt, tarkka ja dynaaminen kuin edeltäjänsä, ja painaa vain 178g. Kengän uudistettu päällinen ja kantakapin rakenne ympäröivät jalkaa hellästi. Kengän keveys, sukkamainen istuvuus ja pohjan täsmävaimennus tekevät S/LAB Pulsar 2:sta todellisen pikakiiturin, joka sopii erityisesti päkiäaskellukseen ja tukee nopeaa askelen rullausta. Droppi 6mm, pohjan paksuus 24,5/18,5mm.

Salomon ULTRA GLIDE 2

ULTRA GLIDE 2 on uudenlainen, erittäin hyvin vaimennettu polkukenkien monipuolisuusihme. Se sopeutuu erinomaisesti monenlaisiin maastoihin ja erilaisille juoksualustoille. Se on mukava ja kevyt pitkän matkan polkujalkine, joka vie sinut luotettavasti läpi vaihtelevien maisemien, oli juoksupaikka ja haaste mikä tahansa.

Ultra Glide 2 sopii erityisesti pehmeää juoksutuntumaa etsivälle polkujuoksijalle. Ultramatkojen lisäksi se on omiaan myös lyhyemmille lenkeille vähentämään askeleen iskutusta. Kengän välipohjan kevyt energyFOAM vaimentaa tärähdystä, palauttaa energiaa ja edistää rullaavaa askellusta. Päällinen on saanut edeltäjämallia hengittävämmän materiaalin, ja ilttiä ja nilkan reunusta on ohennettu istuvuuden parantamiseksi entisestään. Droppi 6mm, pohjan paksuus 32,6/26,6mm, paino 260g.

Rovio meets Supercell at the Bodom Team trail run

By

Bodom Team continues to attract employees of high profile companies to experience the spring nature and to spend a sporty afternoon with colleagues and other like-minded participants. After the entry of Supercell we are excited to see another renowned Finnish game company Rovio to join the event! Here’s how the Rovio team describes their entry process:

The idea to participate in Bodom Trail came from a seasoned Bodom Trail participant Anne Dahlgren, who has participated in the event almost every year since the event has been organized. At Rovio, we have the so-called “hobby clubs” that are founded and operated by anyone working at Rovio.

The hobby club behind this participation is a bunch of running enthusiasts who work at the Rovio headquarters in Espoo. We have been participating in the Töölönlahti Corporate Marathon relay Yritysmaratonviesti for a few years now, but this is the first time in Rovio’s history that we are participating in such a nature-based competitive event.

The small but very excited team of nine doesn’t have much trail running experience except for a few of them. Actually, some of them are very much beginners and have never done a 10km trail run before, but everyone is up for the challenge!

When Anne asked people to sign up, the only wish was that this wouldn’t be the very first time running on trails. Therefore, the group plans to go on a group run before the event, so at the latest then reality will hit! Knowing the spirit of her colleagues, Anne Dahlgren believes that they will succeed just fine. The main thing after all is to challenge ourselves and experience something new and fun together with like-minded colleagues.

One of the motivations that the group shares is to see the spring nature awakening and possibly experience muddy challenges. The trail running rookies on the team watched a bunch of photos and videos about the event and described looking “thrilling and wild”.

Of course, we’re aiming to challenge Supercell, but it’s sure to be difficult with a much smaller team, so we’ll see how it goes! But now we want to wish all participants a great event! See you soon Supercell and all!

With Rovio and Supercell on the starting list, Bodom Team will be an exciting sports encounter between the two most famous Finnish game companies. There’s still time to collect a team and sign up for the challenge! Join the bash of clans and friendly birds now!

Supercell joins Bodom Team with more than 20 runners

By

The Helsinki-based game company Supercell is participating Bodom Team with a big team of more than twenty runners. We asked from the team, what motivates them to run on trails and how they got excited about Bodom Team. Here’s how one of the team’s driving forces, Hotloo Xiranood described the project:

One of the hidden gems of Finland is that people love to run! Particularly in the forest. Trail running is one of the popular ways of people connecting with nature, together!

After moving to Finland, I was fascinated by the sheer amount of forest in Finland, and more importantly, how close they are to where we live! Chances are, you have a nice area of untouched nature next to you! When I was introduced to trail running by friends a few years ago, a whole new way of experiencing Finland was unlocked!

We were chatting with our coworkers that it would be awesome if there were opportunities for us to experience trail running. Some of us participated Bodom Trail in the past, and figured it would be the perfect opportunity for the newcomers to trail running. Bodom Trail is one of the best organized trail events in Finland, and its team run Bodom Team offers us the possibility to participate together as a company. To our surprise, we have gotten more than 20 signups! This was quite organic, and everyone was really motivated to experience the Finnish trail right after winter is over.

We asked, why trail running? It turned out it’s been talked about a lot in Supercell. We believe that Bodom Trail offers us the opportunity to connect with nature and enjoy the upcoming Finnish summer. Ultimately, this event is for us a unique way to have fun together as a team!

Supercell team members are getting ready for Bodom Team

At Supercell, we develop games that are played by as many people as possible and remembered forever. This is not an easy task. We believe that long term success stems from strong, healthy, and energetic team members. On a weekly basis, we organize various activities for our colleagues for us to connect with each other. We hope that through Bodom Trail, we will experience the fresh forest in May, and connect to others who love the sport!

Bodom Trail warmly welcomes the Supercell team to the event! If your company is looking for a great way to get together in a sporty, energizing connection in the beautiful Finnish nature, don’t hesitate to sign up right away! If you are interested in preparing for the event as a team, our coaching partners are available to organize group runs and trail running intro sessions during the spring. For inquiries, drop us an email at bodomtrail@gmail.com.

For Finnish trail runners, the most exciting announcement is that there will be tickets to the Nordic final for five best runners in men’s and women’s 21k distance. The prize includes travel, accommodation, meals, and participation to Fýri Trail by Salomon that will take place in Hemsedal, Norway, on Sep 16, 2023. The final distance is 29k with 1200m of ascent.

This means that the top runners in Bodom Trail will be awarded with an unforgettable race experience in Norway and the possibility to represent Finland at the Nordic level. The three best men and women in Fýri Trail will receive Golden Tickets to the world final in Golfo dell’Isola, Italy, in October. In addition, there is a considerable prize purse for the top-three in Fýri Trail and the best uphill and downhill runners of the race.
