Last Saturday "Lundaloppet" (a 10 K yearly run) took place in a sunny and warm Lund. The atmosphere was cheerful and along the run orchestras were playing and the audience was cheering on the participants. This year, record numbers ran Lundaloppet and from Med-service seven staff members participated.

Joel Johansson, head of division, has been a driving force behind Med-service's participation.

What was the atmosphere like on Saturday? 

"The atmosphere was good, a lot of people and everyone was happy and positive. The feeling afterwards was a sense of relief, finally at the finish line," says Joel. 

Why Lundaloppet? 

"First and foremost, this was a health promotion initiative. By actively talking about physical health at staff meetings and in the "fika room", we have managed to get employees to think more about the importance of exercise."

"We didn't have any requirements that you had to run a certain distance, but we wanted to encourage everyone to complete the race. Some ran, some walked. I am absolutely convinced that we will attract more employees next year as everyone who completed the race was positive about the experience."

After the race, the employees, runners or not, gathered at BMC for a barbecue.

"It was a nice ending where we had the opportunity to socialize outside of working hours in a nice and easy-going way", says Joel.
