Sweaty Sightseeing is a guided run in urban areas that started life during Århus festuge. In its first incarnation participating was free and during the week long festival you could run three 5 K routes: Street Decoration and Vandalism - about local graffiti og streetart i Doors to Hell - A run past some of the many entrances to hell in town Scavenger Hunt - Participant collected visual input and ran screaming and yelling through town The runs were fairly slow (slowest group took about an hour including stops where I talked about Graffiti - fastest group was on the scavenger hunt which had no stops nailed it in about 35 mins.) After the runs I'd arranged fruit juice and fresh fruit at LYNfabrikken - this "sitting down and being social" bit was as important as the run itself because I wanted to see how shared physical activity affects us socially. The project attracted a lot of media interest and was supported by Århus sekvenstræning, Puma, Århus festuge and LYNfabrikken. I'm currently working on expanding the idea and specialized runs (amongst others there's a typography Scavenger hunt for designers) are already available anywhere in Europe to companies or organisations, contact me for information. In the works is also a weekly tour in Århus, but Funding is needed for that.
