2014-05-13
Utö Swimrun will take place on 31 May. Two teams from Rejlers will take their place on the starting line to tackle the 32-kilometre course combining both running and swimming. President and CEO Peter Rejler will be competing in one of the teams.
Utö Swimrun is one of the qualifying competitions for ÖTILLÖ, which takes place at the end of the summer. Rejlers has for several years now been the main sponsor of ÖTILLÖ, which is classed as one of the toughest endurance races in the world.
"I am looking forward to competing. Making it round the course demands willpower, endurance and determination, and, of course, good collaboration with your teammate. These are qualities that also drive our employees and our company forward. So naturally we are happy to support this endeavour," says Peter Rejler, President and CEO of Rejlers.
"We seek long-term collaborations that reflect our passion, our belief in endurance and our desire to keep improving. As the main sponsor, Rejlers meets all these criteria and they help us to develop," says Michael Lemmel, Race Director for Utö Swimrun and ÖTILLÖ.
Utö Swimrun is a race totalling 32 kilometres: 28 kilometres of running and 4 kilometres of swimming. The swimming component comprises a total of 13 stretches, with the longest being 480 metres. The individuals competing for Rejlers are Christian Pettersson, Ulf Thelin, John Norling and Peter Rejler. The competition takes place on 31 May, starting and ending on Utö. ÖTILLÖ will be held on 1 September.
