Allianz World Run, a global annual event held across the Allianz Group SE worldwide, recently concluded with Allianz Lanka ranking No.2 in the global leader-boards for the event. 

The objective of the Allianz World Run is to promote health and fitness by ramifying physical activity, with the intention of raising awareness and funds for pivotal issues facing people across the world. Participants, which included Allianz’s people all over the world, use their mobile phones and devices to track their physical activity for 90 days. 

Their progress and efforts are then tallied, for each contributing country, and then each country is ranked on a global leader board. The primary objective of the event is to run a combined total distance of as many times as possible around the globe in 90 days.

In 2022, Allianz Lanka, representing Sri Lanka, ranked No.2 worldwide in the Allianz World Run, both in terms of Total Distance and Total Participation. Allianz Lanka’s team was able to clock an amazing 246,282km in total or a distance equivalent to having run 6 times + around the globe. The local team also witnessed a total of 1,106 participants, the 2nd highest in the world, with each participant on average having moved 223km. 

Commenting on the success of the initiative, Allianz Lanka CEO Gany Subramaniam said: “I’m very pleased to say that over the 90 days of the Allianz World Run 2022, our one Allianz spirit was showcased for all to see as communities came together globally to get active and boost our health and wellbeing, while also helping our teams to raise awareness and funds for crucial issues around the world. 

“At Allianz, we believe in protecting the most precious things in life, and few things are more precious than our health and wellbeing. For this reason, we constantly encourage physical activity, and I urge all our team members to keep up with their workouts and exercise throughout the year.”
