Service is something we take personally. And we take challenges personally too. What about you?
Why not take to the start of the 1st FIRST Business Travel Running Award with your company!


Professionals, celebrities, weekend runners – they’ll all be there at the start of the TUI Marathon Palma de Mallorca. Awaiting you is the “most beautiful island marathon in the world“ – with its intense finish directly beneath the famous La Seu cathedral.

The FIRST Business Travel Running Award has its own team assessment scheme operating within the overall framework of the TUI Half Marathon. Train and battle it out together and enjoy every minute in your attempt to gain the coveted title of “Europe’s fastest company“.

This is how it works
Irrespective of how many employees start for your company, it is the four best finishing times, the two fastest women and the two fastest men, that make up the score. There is no limit to the number of runners in a team. So in effect, the more runners who are entered for a team, the better the chances are of winning the title. Of course, all the runners will also be assessed in their respective age category in the TUI Half Marathon.

The prizes
The company teams battle it out for the title of “Europe’s fastest company“. The three fastest teams can look forward – besides a trophy and of course the honour – to receiving some attractive prizes.

Entry fees
There is no extra charge for this special running event. When you register don’t forget to indicate the name of your company.

Review 2009

Once again this year numerous company teams accepted the challenge of the half marathon distance and took part in the sporting competition for the Running Award 2009. The three winning teams in the company race happily accepted their trophies and prize money.

Taking part for the first time and straight away on top of the winners’ rostrum was the team from the Running Company in Munich. The “fastest company in Europe“ just couldn’t be beaten, especially with the strength they had in Bianca Meyer, the winner of the half marathon. The TUI Team, running in their new event shirts, were happy with their second place. And the Wackel Champions team gained third place, thanks to their strategic aptitude: ”We have engaged extra professional runners for our team!“ – and no sooner said than done. Congratulations to all the winners!

Now the race is over it’s times for the next one … because at the 7th TUI Marathon Palma de Mallorca 2010 there will again be a Running Award. We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

Review 2007
How fast is your company? Once again that was a question asked at the 4th International TUI Marathon Palma de Majorca. We are pleased that the competition among companies, which takes place within the half marathon, is becoming more popular and for the first time attracted a Spanish RUNNING AWARD team. Included in this year’s line-up were the reigning champions from TUI and two teams from EVAG.

New in the pack were, among others, a big team from the Estée Lauder company in Munich with the catchy slogan “We run for beauty“. Also the ketchup and baked beans manufacturer HEINZ attracted a lot of attention as they had a celebrity team member running in the person of the well known actor Martin Semmelrogge.


Then at the awards ceremony came the big surprise: the TUI RUNNING AWARD team from last year had to step down to make way for the new winning team of tour operator Thomas Cook from Lanzarote.

Thanks go to all the company teams and already we are looking forward to the next RUNNING AWARD, which will be held on 19 October 2008.


In the top three places were:

1st place: Thomas Cook
2nd place: TUI
3rd place: Team Bellavistamallorca.com
