Mountain adventure for maritime professionals
Entries open for a new endurance event in the Swiss Alps, bringing shipping together for seafarers’ welfare
Leading international seafarer welfare charity The Mission to Seafarers (MtS) has announced the launch of the first-ever Maritime Mountain Race, a unique endurance event set to take place from 13-15 September 2024.
This new challenge is designed to bring together trail hikers and runners from the maritime community and beyond, offering a thrilling experience amidst the breathtaking scenery of Le Bouveret, Switzerland.
The Maritime Mountain Race is more than just a physical challenge; it’s an opportunity to support the welfare of seafarers worldwide.
With two levels of difficulty – hiking and running – the race caters to seasoned athletes and those seeking a formidable yet achievable challenge.
Participants will journey through lush forests, along hidden paths, and across mountain rivers, experiencing panoramic views of the Alps and Lake Geneva.
The event includes two evenings of networking, starting with a welcome reception and culminating in a Gala Dinner, where participants can share their experiences and celebrate their achievements.
The funds raised from the Maritime Mountain Race will directly support The Mission to Seafarers’ vital frontline work, enhancing the welfare services provided to seafarers around the globe.
