Highland Spirit in Tough Viking
Join George McLaren, our spirited Scotsman from Ejendals, as he reflects on last year's Tough Viking obstacle race. George shares valuable insights from his unforgettable journey. So, kick back and get ready for an enlightening reflection of George's adventure through mud, sweat, and Viking cheers!
Ejendals has been a proud sponsor of the first-class obstacle race Tough Viking since 2023, which is being held in Stockholm and Gothenburg this year.
One of those who had the opportunity to join Ejendals' own team in Tough Viking is George McLaren. He is originally from Scotland, but love brought him to Dalarna, Sweden. For the past few years, he has been working as an indoor salesperson at Ejendals with a focus on the UK.
Interviewer: What made you sign up for Tough Viking?
George: "The challenge. I have quite small children and haven't had as much time to train as I should have in recent years. It gave me a solid reason to start training a little harder."
There are many difficult challenges along the Tough Viking course. Several obstacles must be overcome, placing great demands on the participants' fitness and strength. Participants must lift heavy stones, carry heavy logs, negotiate water obstacles, and climb over walls, among other challenges. The whole body is put to the test.
George: "When I saw the course, I got a little worried. It looked difficult, and there were several obstacles that looked almost impossible."
