Want to boost team cohesion in a way other than around a table football game?
The Ekiden France Environnement in Villeneuve-d’Ascq invites you to swap the coffee machine for a bib.
The principle is simple: one marathon, six colleagues, one mission – pass the baton without dropping it (literally). A collective challenge, a high-energy atmosphere, and the pride of finishing together what no one would have dared to do alone.
What you will find there:
• A relay marathon, divided into 6 sections (5 – 10 – 5 – 10 – 5 – 7.195 km).
• An atmosphere halfway between team building and a sports fair (yes, there are shouts, signs, and often mismatched socks).
• Three corporate packs: BRONZE, SILVER or GOLD. Choose according to your desire to show your colors (and your means).
• A professional, festive and supportive setting, which gives full meaning to the word “commitment”.
More details on the corporate packs:
• Bronze Pack – €140/team
The “we do things well” pack: instructions, company bib, medal for all and official ranking.
• Silver Pack – €250/team (from 2 teams)
The “we start to tell the tale” pack: all the Bronze + breakfast and dedicated outdoor space.
• Gold Pack – €360/team (from 5 teams)
The “we want to make an impression” pack: everything else + cozy indoor space and lunch to finish in beauty.
Focus on the course:
No boring corporate people here. You'll see HR people in shorts, managers stressed at the 3rd km, assistants saving the team on the last relay. And a real bond that develops over the course of each stride.
And for the more strategic: you can also sponsor the event. Local visibility, social impact, and the image of a company that supports the Clowns of Hope — it's hard to do better.
4 (very) good reasons to participate:
• A boost for the team;
• Because sharing the pain of a 10 km (or the glory of a well-managed 5 km) creates more cohesion than 50 emails in copy;
• A useful commitment;
• The profits go to the association Les Clowns de l'Espoir, which brings light to hospital rooms. You give meaning to your performance. And that's powerful.

Choose your best technical t-shirt (the one that doesn't itch) and remember the 4 pins (x6 = 24... yes, it's math).
Arrive an hour early to enjoy the atmosphere and check your team strategy.
Zero-waste, organic, and local refreshments
No plastic bottles here. Instead, water dispensers installed by Iléo – drinkable water, efficient flow. You bring your own water bottle or cup, and we'll serve you. No waste.
If you have nothing, no worries: we'll lend you an ecocup at the refreshment station. You return it at the exit, and we'll take care of washing it for the next race. Simple and effective.
To drink, but also to eat
Everything is prepared on site by volunteers, in pieces, on trays. You help yourself. You eat. You're leaving.
It's clean, local, good. And it does the job.
