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!
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.
