Women who have been involved in the implementation of health and safety initiatives in major companies are taking part in a Valencia-Ibiza-Valencia regatta on 8, 9 and 10 June.

With the support of Universo Mujer, the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation (RFEV) and the Volvo Ocean Race. It coincides with World Oceans Day on 8 June and highlights the need to respect marine water quality for a healthier planet.

How:

On 8, 9 and 10 June, 14 women representing major companies took part in the #DesafíoOlaSalud. The participants spent 48 hours together on two sailboats, working as a team and keeping watch at night, under the guidance of expert Olympic and ocean sailors. This pioneering initiative organised meetings on healthy habits among different companies through the women who represent them. The Government classified this Challenge, which is promoted by Quirónprevención , as an “Event of Exceptional Public Interest”, through the Higher Sports Council, within the Universo Mujer programme. It also had the support of the Royal Spanish Sailing Federation (RFEV) and the Volvo Ocean Race.
