What it brings to the team

Wellbeing is built between people.

Social support and belonging protect mental health at work.
Both grow from shared effort.

What we see in teams

The patternHow LACTIK responds
Siloed working & social isolation heighten workplace stress and prevent meaningful connection, eroding psychological safety.
Low-stakes, interactive movement builds authentic human connection beyond job roles
Mental health stigma and fear of vulnerability force employees to mask stress, accelerating silent burnout.
Shared physical & cognitive tasks normalise interdependence.
Intimidating wellness initiatives fail to reach sedentary, highly stressed, or disengaged employees who need health support most.
Inclusive, low-barrier movement allows every physical capability level to participate comfortably.
Hyper-individual performance pressure generates competitive anxiety. 
Collective metric ownership shifts the pressure from individual burden to shared responsibility and team resilience.

LACTIK is a corporate running championship and team-building race. Teams of five colleagues complete four 400 m runs and three shared work stations against a single chrono, which stops on the last runner.

The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA) lists a lack of support from management or colleagues among the psychosocial risks to mental health at work. LACTIK builds that support: colleagues move together, share the workload at every station and finish with one team time. Anyone can take part, and LACTIK runs the full session with a coach and referee for every team.

Anyone in your organisation. Every segment can be walked or run, and no prior fitness experience or technical movement is needed.

Teams start together and alternate four 400 m runs with three work stations: squat jumps, burpees and lunges. The workload at each station is shared across the team, and the chrono stops when the last runner crosses the line.

No. LACTIK records one time per team. There are no individual times and no solo ranking.

Five participants per team, with an unlimited number of teams per company. Each team is assigned a LACTIK coach and referee.

About an hour. A 10-minute briefing on format and rules, a 15-minute warm-up led together, the race itself, which takes teams close to 25 minutes, then a 10-minute cool-down and stretch.

Every team time is published on the city and global leaderboard. The best city time of the season earns the City Champion title, and the world-leading time earns World Champion.
