Tele2’s Leadership Team attempts bicycling from Riga to Vilnius

On August 21, the Group Leadership Team members of Tele2 will attempt to complete a 356 kilometer Bike Race from Riga to Vilnius in two days. The purpose is to fearlessly raise money for a good cause.

It will be possible to follow the entire journey on a map in real-time with the help of Tele2’s IoT connectivity at www.tele2.com/Biketour There, you can also vote for the contestant that you think will win the race. For each vote on a contestant that crosses the finish line, Tele2 will donate 5 SEK to SOS Children Villages in Lithuania and Latvia. The donation will be handed to the organization when the race is completed.

Throughout the race, the Leadership Team will visit several cities in both Latvia and Lithuania to arrange activities to further raise money and to meet people and customers in the Baltic region where Tele2 successfully has been operating for about 20 years.
