Contrary to some seriously gloomy weather predictions, Eventia’s Summer Workout was held in glorious sunshine on the green and pleasant lawns of Beaumont House.

This year’s event kicked-off energetically with a motivational warm-up, after which participants embarked on a 5km fun-run. This was followed by a series of teambuilding activities, including space-hopper slalom, synchronised ski-walking and army-style manoeuvring under tarpaulin covers.

For the second year running, the Gallowglass team seized victory in the field, with Jarrod Bischoff winning the prize for Fastest Male Runner, and the entire crew scooping the trophy for Fastest Team Running.

After a cooling shower and a celebratory drink, the event seguéd into a barbecue dinner for the Workout participants and newly-arrived conference delegates. An informal awards ceremony honoured the following winners:

Fastest Male Runner: Jarrod Bischoff, Gallowglass Fastest Female Runner: Caroline Phillipps, Visit Switzerland Fastest Team Running: Gallowglass Fastest Male Walking: Cedric Farineau, Maison de la France Fastest Team Walking: OYSTERS Pictured receiving the Fastest Team Running award from sponsor Dana Lewis, Accor Hospitality, are Matt Storey (left) and Tom Fellows (right), both Gallowglass.
