Tuntreet opens Storebrand!

When the planned reopening of Storebrand was abruptly canceled, Tuntreet decided to take matters into its own hands. As Storebrand had been released from its steel fence prison ahead of this grand opening, the participants were free to enter the course, ready to give their best in the evening's activities.

3000 m racewalking

It was set for racewalking, as the brand-new track deck had to be thoroughly tested. With a slightly varying form, a vigorous group raced, all focused on being the first to finish. For those who would like to perform 3000 m beer, but dislike both running and drinking beer, 3000 m racewalking can be a great alternative. The new course is perfect for this purpose.     

Cheese rolling

The grass on the field worked excellently for an intensive round of cheese rolling. The conditions on the grass court allowed the participants to try out different styles to make the cheese roll as long as possible for each roll. Due to the grass, the path of the cheese can sometimes be obstructed, but whether one chooses to look at this as a disadvantage or an extra challenge is up to the participant.

Squash:

Everyone can play squash. All you need is an item or two from your local fruit and vegetable department. Not only is it fun, it's also very healthy!

Pillow fight:

An intense round of pillow fights led to a hard and bitter battle to reach the top of the podium. Fortunately, the soft grass surface helped to dampen the ups and downs for those who were hit hardest. If you need to relieve stress or get out some aggression in a fairly safe way, pillow fights are really recommended. Provided that the pillows can end up with green spots, of course.

E-sport

Storebrand is an extremely ideal alternative also for those who would like to get up from the gaming chair. The nature and all the activity around give an immersive experience, almost as if it all takes place in 4D. If you have a long enough battery life, this is definitely an opportunity to avoid sitting inside.

Show jumping

Although the course does not appear to be dimensioned for horses, Tuntreet still wanted to test the availability of show jumping. When it turned out to be somewhat difficult to get hold of a real horse, a little white hobby horse was rescued from a collective's dark shed at the last minute. It seemed that both rider and fighter spent their quality time well, where they frolicked on the grass.

Strongman

Weights brought along can also be used at the new Storebrand. There is plenty of room for anyone who would like to train to get in strongman shape. One is clearly visible so that everyone who passes by can become speechless by the strength you possess, and it is an excellent opportunity to take bragging pictures in natural lighting.

Roller skates

The track's surface is not only great for 3000 m racewalking. For those who want a little more speed and excitement, roller skating is recommended, for a more invigorating round around Storebrand. One just has to be careful not to roll straight into a racewalker or E-sport player. If the accident should still take place on the field: knee guards are fashionable at the moment – wear safety equipment!
