ArcelorMittal in the Pampulha international run in Brazil
ArcelorMittal was very active in the XI Pampulha International Lap, a traditional street race held every year around the Pampulha Lake in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais.
Sunday December 6, 2009 was the date of this year’s race. Congratulations to our Brazilian colleagues who formed an ArcelorMittal team of 150 runners who ran the 18 kms with the company brand on their T-shirts! Employees of 12 other companies in Brazil and their relatives also participated. The best timing among the ArcelorMittal runners belongs to José Wanderley Estevam Gomes, from the Drawing Area, with 1h04min33s. The over all winner (men) was Kenyan athlete Nicholas Koech, with 52min48s.
ArcelorMittal Brasil put together a support structure for its employees, who gathered in the Ipê Club, on the margins of the Pampulha Lake, close to the start location. On Saturday, the day before the run, they were given the official run kit, the ArcelorMittal kit and light snacks. On Sunday, the day of the race, they were given breakfast and were able to do stretch and warm up exercises supervised by a sports assistance. After the run, there was massage and hydro gym at the club. The programme finished with a get together barbecue and a musical show. Sounds like hard work, but also a lot of fun!
