In the 2024 edition of the Sofico Ghent Marathon, the Sofico group welcomed 200 runners, including Sofico employees, friends, customers, and partners. With groups choosing distances from the 10k to the half marathon, the day became a celebration of achievement and connection.

One of our standout customer teams, CA Auto Bank Belgium and Drivalia, embraced the marathon as a team-building event, bringing colleagues together from different departments for a shared challenge. Running as part of a team encouraged each member to set goals and support one another along the course, building relationships and resilience that extended well beyond race day. This team’s experience exemplifies how the Sofico Ghent Marathon is more than just a race – it’s a way to foster unity and shared goals.

The 2024 marathon set a new benchmark for participation and engagement:

• 200 runners joined the Sofico group, representing employees, friends, customers, and partners.
• 8 customer and partner teams took part, contributing 32 runners to the Sofico group.
• Half of the runners took on the challenge of the half marathon (103 out of 197), showcasing their commitment and team spirit.

Whether a full marathoner or a 10k enthusiast, every participant found inspiration in the event’s energetic atmosphere, with many citing team-building as a highlight.
