Edenred and Yritysmaratonviesti will continue their collaboration

Moving together for workplace wellbeing and community spirit

Edenred is proud to continue as the main partner of Yritysmaratonviesti for the next two years! The collaboration, which began in 2024, has proven to be a meaningful way to promote workplace wellbeing, team spirit, and the joy of movement among Finnish companies. Now, the partnership will extend into 2026 and 2027, as hundreds of work communities once again get moving first in Helsinki on May 22, 2026, and then in Tampere on May 29, 2026.

A shared goal: movement boosts wellbeing

Edenred Yritysmaratonviesti is Finland’s largest corporate sports event and the winner of the 2023 Business Event of the Year award. The event brings together companies from all industries to move, network, and do good – each in their own way and at their own pace.

The relay-style marathon can be run, jogged, or walked. The most important thing is doing it together. In just one day, the event generates an incredible amount of joy, energy, and team spirit, qualities that carry on long after returning to everyday work life

"Our collaboration with the Finnish Olympic Committee in Yritysmaratonviesti is especially meaningful to us at Edenred, as it reflects our values and commitment to workplace wellbeing. We believe that shared events like Yritysmaratonviesti strengthen team spirit and promote physical activity and health. These kinds of occasions offer opportunities to build community and encourage employees to move while also supporting wellbeing at work and improving overall quality of life," says Laura Lahtinen, Edenred’s workplace wellbeing expert.

Supporting movement and charity in the workplace

Proceeds from the event help fund the Finnish Olympic Committee’s efforts to promote physical activity among children and youth especially by increasing opportunities for hobbies and sports after the school day. This makes participation uniquely meaningful: while companies strengthen their own team spirit, they also get to support the future generation of movers.

"It’s great to continue our collaboration with Edenred as the main partner of Yritysmaratonviesti. We both share the goal of promoting workplace wellbeing and encouraging people to move more – that’s the core idea behind Yritysmaratonviesti. Together, we’ll once again create springtime highlights for workplaces in both Helsinki and Tampere," says Lauri Ijäs, who oversees Edenred Yritysmaratonviesti at the Finnish Olympic Committee.

Wellbeing at work that’s felt and seen

Edenred Yritysmaratonviesti offers companies a concrete way to invest in employee wellbeing and community spirit, values that are also at the heart of Edenred’s mission. Physical activity and shared experiences not only boost energy and resilience, but also strengthen trust and a sense of belonging within teams.

When employees thrive, so does the company. Edenred Yritysmaratonviesti is the perfect starting line for that journey.

"Edenred Yritysmaratonviesti is an excellent way to promote employee wellbeing and team spirit. Events like this not only offer opportunities for physical activity, but also help build stronger bonds between teams—an essential part of creating a positive workplace atmosphere. When teams enjoy working together, it’s reflected in the company’s success and overall efficiency," says Lahtinen.

A partnership that moves – literally

The collaboration between Edenred and Yritysmaratonviesti now enters its third year. Both share a common goal: to build a better working life – one that’s more active, energetic, and connected.

The event offers companies not only movement and joy, but also a chance to network and strengthen their brand as part of Finland’s most significant corporate sports event.
