VIRTUAL DADATHLON COMPETITION

What is it about?

DaddyHood Dadathlon is a one-of-a-kind event that consists of a group of three races covering three different sports disciplines, each taking place at a different time during the year. The unique thing about this sports event is that participants are dads and their kids.

The different events are:

RUNNING with kids in MAY
BIKING with kids in JUNE
HIKING with kids in SEPTEMBER

The registration to Dadathlon is free of charge and you can do it virtually anywhere in the world. Choose your distance and get physically active together and help us fundraise for a good cause.

Why should you do this?

Create bonds and memories with your kids
Inspire your kids to a healthy lifestyle
Be part of a community of dads who share similar values
Inspire other dads to be present and active fathers.
Help us fundraise for The Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund – The Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund works to fight childhood cancer and is supporting research that is used globally. For every participating dad our sponsors will donate a certain amount.

Gold level– Running 15k, Biking 30k, Hiking 10

Upload your results

On the day of the race, you will track your activity with an app or sports watch. Then simply upload your results, the requested details and the activation link from your watch/app to this platform. More detailed description here

Win great prizes

There will be a leaderboard available by the time, where all competitors can follow their results, but since this is a celebration of movement between dads and kids and not a classic competition, prizes will be awarded to the individuals and teams that post the most inspiring pictures or videos!

Each discipline is awarded separately and there will also be special prizes for the whole Dadathlon.

We will announce our prizes soon.

Rules

We understand children’s needs. It is allowed to stop your tracking device to take a break – keep in mind that your and the comfort of your kids is the most important.

You need to finish all three events to become a Dadathlon, but it is possible to only sign up for one event as well.

Do you have babies or toddlers?

To make sure you and your child are safe during the race, use strollers for running, a bicycle child seat or bike trailers and helmets for cycling and a carrier backpack for hiking.

Note! If you think your baby is too small to run, don’t worry! You can still register and instead of running make a quick walk with your baby in the stroller! Remember, Dadathlon is not about the best time it is about you spending time with your child!

Enjoy the race and memories you create with your kids/teenagers!
