--- title: 19 May Corporate Sports Programmes | Kurumsal Geziler url: https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/programs/youth-and-sports-day-corporate-programmes description: Sport, nature and outdoor team programmes for companies on 19 May; corporate events focused on cycling, trekking, sailing and rafting. --- 19 May Commemoration of Atatürk, Youth and Sports Day ## 19 May Corporate Sports Programmes Sport, nature and outdoor team programmes for companies on 19 May; corporate events focused on cycling, trekking, sailing and rafting. The programmes below are selected for this occasion by team size, duration and logistical fit. ## The best date in the year for an outdoor programme 19 May falls in the period when weather conditions are most favourable for outdoor corporate activity. Because the day itself carries a youth and sport theme, framing a team event around it is also consistent from a communication point of view. For organisations running an employee wellbeing programme it is a rare opportunity to combine annual activity goals with a team event. The programmes on this page are chosen so that teams with different fitness levels stay together in the same event. Setting a difficulty level everyone can join directly determines whether the programme succeeds. ## Programme options ### Cycling routes Coastal and Golden Horn routes; low-difficulty formats that draw broad participation. Bicycle provision, helmets and a safety briefing are within scope. Meeting points are planned along the route to manage differences in fitness. ### Trekking programmes Nature walks in the Belgrad Forest and on the Yedigöller line. The difficulty level can be adjusted to the group; with two distance options, parallel routes can be run for mixed teams. ### Water sports and sailing Corporate sailing experiences and the Sapanca rafting programme. Formats that require in-team coordination and make teamwork directly observable. Swimming ability and a participation fitness declaration are collected in advance. ### Amasya and the history route A route directly connected to the historical context of 19 May. Suited to organisations that want a cultural component instead of, or alongside, the sports programme. ### Company picnic and outdoor team games The lowest-difficulty, highest-participation format. It can also be opened to families. ## Managing difficulty levels in mixed teams The most common mistake on sports-focused corporate programmes is setting a single difficulty level. In practice teams split into three groups: those who exercise regularly, those who do occasionally, and those who do not at all. Forcing all three onto the same route reduces participation. Instead: - Two different distances or difficulty options are offered within the same programme. - Meeting points where the groups rejoin are planned along the route. - A parallel option (a nature walk, a photography route, a rest area) is prepared for those not joining the activity. This structure ensures no part of the team is left out at any stage of the programme. ## Safety and insurance On outdoor and water sports programmes a participation fitness declaration is collected from participants. On rafting and sailing programmes swimming ability is asked about, life jackets and equipment are checked, and a safety briefing is given at the start. All programmes are covered by travel and activity insurance; policy details are supplied with the quote. On-site first-aid support can be requested. ## Format by headcount - **20-50 people:** one route, one guiding team. The most flexible range. - **50-120 people:** staggered start times by group, multiple guides and an equipment logistics plan. - **120+ people:** a staggered movement plan, site coordinator, and an extended health-and-safety and first-aid team. ## Scope and quote Our quote shows transport, equipment provision, instructors and guiding, insurance, refreshments and field coordination on separate lines. The whole programme is closed with a single contract and a single invoice. Stating your estimated headcount, the general fitness distribution of the team and your preferred activity type speeds up the build.

May is one of the busiest periods of the year for outdoor events; equipment and guide capacity fills early around these dates. ### Some of our team do not do sport — will the programme suit them? It will. For mixed teams we offer two difficulty or distance options within the same programme, plan meeting points along the route where the groups rejoin, and prepare a parallel option for those not joining the activity. That way no part of the team is left idle. ### How is safety handled on rafting and sailing programmes? We collect a participation fitness declaration and swimming ability from participants, check life jackets and equipment, and give a safety briefing at the start. All programmes are covered by activity insurance; policy details are supplied with the quote. ### Are bicycles and equipment included? Yes. Bicycles, helmets and the necessary safety equipment are provided within scope and shown on a separate line in the quote. Arrangements can also be made for employees who want to take part with their own equipment. ### Does the weather affect the programme? For outdoor programmes we prepare an alternative plan for rain and wind. On water sports a cancellation decision may be taken for safety reasons, in which case we move to the pre-agreed alternative activity. We usually fix the decision point at 24-48 hours before the event. ### Can families join the programme? In the company picnic and outdoor team games format, yes. On cycling, trekking, rafting and sailing programmes family participation is limited by age and safety restrictions; a parallel area can be arranged for families on those programmes. ## Other Special-Day Programmes [All Occasions](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/programs/corporate-special-occasion-programmes) [29 October · 26 days Republic Day Corporate Programmes History and culture programmes, team events and corporate organisations for companies around 29 October Republ...](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/programs/republic-day-corporate-programmes) [10 November · 38 days 10 November Corporate Commemoration Programmes Commemoration programmes for organisations on 10 November: Anıtkabir visits, Republican history routes and in-...](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/programs/november-10-commemoration-programmes) [31 December · 89 days Company New Year Party Organisation New Year organisation and corporate programmes for 20-500 people: year-end review meetings, award nights and c...](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/programs/company-new-year-party-organisation) [08 March · 156 days 8 March Corporate Event Programmes Workshops, wellbeing and culture programmes for companies on 8 March; content-focused event options for HR and...](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/programs/international-womens-day-corporate-programmes) [23 April · 202 days 23 April Corporate Family Event Corporate family days, workshops and trips for employees' children on 23 April; safe event formats planned by...](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/programs/childrens-day-family-programmes) [30 August · 331 days 30 August Corporate History Programmes History and culture programmes for companies on 30 August Victory Day; team programmes on the Anıtkabir, Çanak...](https://kurumsalgeziler.com/en/programs/victory-day-corporate-programmes) ** ## How can I help you, Today? **
