Bank of Maldives has entered into a two-year partnership with WeRUN Maldives to support the organisation’s corporate relay race, reinforcing the Bank’s continued engagement in initiatives that promote workplace wellness, active lifestyles, and stronger community participation across the Maldives. The collaboration will support the organisation and development of the event over the next two years, with the first edition set to be held this year.
Designed for companies, institutions, and organisations operating in the Maldives, the corporate relay race will feature a five-runner team format, with each participant completing a one-kilometre leg. The event brings together the spirit of sport and teamwork in a way that reflects the values of collaboration, shared responsibility, and healthy competition. By encouraging organisations to participate as teams, the relay creates an environment where employees can engage in physical activity while strengthening interpersonal connections and corporate unity.
The initiative is expected to provide an important platform for promoting healthier workplace cultures at a time when employee wellbeing is becoming an increasingly important part of organisational development. Through a format that is accessible, engaging, and team-oriented, the event offers participating institutions an opportunity to inspire staff, build morale, and encourage a more balanced approach to professional life. It also highlights the growing role of organised sporting events in bringing together the corporate community in the Maldives through positive and purposeful engagement.
For Bank of Maldives, the partnership reflects a broader and well-established commitment to supporting sports development in the country. The Bank has continued to take part in programmes and collaborations aimed at encouraging youth participation, expanding access to sporting opportunities, and promoting healthier lifestyles in communities and workplaces alike. Its support for the WeRUN Maldives corporate relay race further demonstrates an approach that sees sport not only as competition, but also as a valuable tool for inclusion, motivation, and social connection.
The partnership is also expected to contribute to the wider development of the local sporting landscape by introducing an event model that blends fitness, corporate identity, and public participation. As interest in wellness-focused events continues to grow, the relay race is poised to become a meaningful addition to the Maldives’ calendar of community and corporate activities. With Bank of Maldives backing the initiative over the next two years, the event is likely to gain strong momentum as a platform that celebrates teamwork, encourages healthier routines, and fosters a more active and connected professional community.
