The first trip will be to Alicante this autumn and the trip will be launched in connection with the Gothenburg Shipyard Expo which takes place on 17-19/5.

– ”We are proud to have been entrusted with arranging Göteborgsvarvet's training trips and look forward to being at the Göteborgsvarvet Expo in connection with this real folk festival. In addition, Göteborgsvarvet's commitment to sustainability, charity and public health is a plus factor. As well as the fact that Göteborgsvarvet's surplus goes directly back to the sports movement in the region, we see BIG Travel as an added value”, comments Johan Rejhagen, Marketing Director at BIG Travel.

The collaboration means that BIG Travel will have the exclusive right to arrange Göteborgsvarvet's training trips.

-"It feels very good that Göteborgsvarvet is starting a collaboration with BIG Travel, which has a wide range and is a very experienced tour operator. Many exercisers want to combine their vacation with training and we will now be able to offer really good training trips together," says Shipyard General Bo Edsberger.

Göteborgsvarvet, the world's largest half marathon, will be held on May 19, 2018 for the 39th time. Göteborgsvarvet is organized by the Gothenburg Athletics Association. The surplus goes directly back into the sports movement to be invested in the associations' youth activities and the operation of the training facility Friidrottens Hus.
