Two teams from Rejlers on the start line for ÖTILLÖ
2014-08-20
This year, two teams from Rejlers will be taking part in the ÖTILLÖ endurance competition. On 1 September, they will be tackling a total distance of 75 kilometres. This involves swimming 10 kilometres and running 65 kilometres. Peter Rejler, President and CEO of Rejlers, will be taking part in one of the two teams.
ÖTILLÖ is held over and between 26 islands in the Stockholm archipelago. The competition runs from dawn to dusk, and starts in Sandhamn with its finishing line on Utö. The race is ranked as the toughest swim-run competition and one of the toughest endurance races in the world. Rejlers is the main sponsor of the competition and has entered two teams. President and CEO of Rejlers, Peter Rejler, is competing with John Norling, who works in Rejlers’ Uppsala office, as one of these teams. The other team consists of Stockholm employee Christian Pettersson and Ulf Thelin, a Rejlers customer.

“I’m looking forward to taking part in the competition. It’s a real challenge which requires a combination of willpower, endurance, a focus on achieving goals, teamwork and, not least, passion. We chose to support the competition because there is a clear connection between the event and our values of health and success,” says Peter Rejler.
“We are looking for a long-term cooperation that reflects our passion, our belief in endurance and our desire to always do that bit better. As the main sponsor, Rejlers meets all these criteria and they help us to develop," says Michael Lemmel, Race Director for ÖTILLÖ.
