With a workforce that\u2019s 80% female, spanning ages 23 to 59, and varying fitness levels, Huntress is a company that prioritizes the health and wellbeing of its employees. While recruitment is often desk-based, the energy, determination, and drive required for success are unmistakable\u2014and so is the need to recharge.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n        Running emerged as the perfect outlet. It\u2019s free, fun, and fosters camaraderie while providing a much-needed release from daily pressures. Enter Skamper, the app that transformed this idea into action, bringing the Huntress Run Club to life.<\/p><\/p>\n<p>\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 4px; color: rgb(38, 42, 197);\">\n        The Huntress Run Club: From Holborn to New Heights\n    <\/h2>\n    <p>\n        Skamper designed a custom 5k route from the Huntress office in Holborn on 1st August 2023, followed by a new route when the company relocated to the City of London in May 2024. Crafting these routes was no small feat\u2014navigating busy London streets to connect with the scenic Thames required creativity and precision.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n        The goal? A true 5k starting at the office door, ready to squeeze into post-work Tuesdays. With no time to travel to better starting points, the route had to balance technical challenge with convenience.\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n        Since its launch, the club has logged over 270 runs by 22 different runners, with groups ranging from one or two participants to as many as seven. Between them they have clocked up 600 miles of running just around Holborn and St Paul\u2019s, with many of them also using the app to run routes close to their homes in addition to the Huntress Run Club. Many have shown incredible consistency, with one runner registering 109 runs. Since the club started, runs have been registered in 75 out of 77 weeks, with Christmas breaks the only gaps.<\/p>\n<p>\n    <\/p>\n    <p>\n        The initiative has grown to include the Leeds office, with plans to expand to all locations.<\/p>\n<p>\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 4px; color: rgb(38, 42, 197);\">\n        Why Skamper Works for Huntress<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 4px; color: rgb(38, 42, 197);\">\n    <\/h2>\n    <h3 style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 4px; color: rgb(38, 42, 197);\">\n        Safety First\n    <\/h3>\n    <p>\n        One of Skamper&#8217;s standout features is its &#8220;neutralized&#8221; sections. Busy road crossings come with warning hooters and no competitive pressure to rush\u2014a key detail for the results-driven recruitment world.<\/p>\n<p>\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 4px; color: rgb(38, 42, 197);\">\n        Effortless Organization\n    <\/h3>\n    <p>\n        With pre-defined routes, everyone knows the way, and latecomers can catch up using the app. Faster runners can head home post-run, while slower participants aren\u2019t left behind. Skamper ensures running fits seamlessly into the team\u2019s busy schedules.<\/p>\n<p>\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 4px; color: rgb(38, 42, 197);\">\n        Fair Comparisons\n    <\/h3>\n    <p>\n        Skamper\u2019s grading system levels the playing field. A 23-year-old speedster and a 58-year-old beginner can fairly compare progress and effort. It also allows teams across offices to compete on courses with entirely different challenges\u2014ideal for Huntress\u2019s goal-oriented culture.<\/p>\n<p>\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h3 style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 4px; color: rgb(38, 42, 197);\">\n        Flexibility and Exploration\n    <\/h3>\n    <p>\n        With nearly 4,000 curated routes across the UK, Skamper lets runners explore new areas at their own pace, whether during weekdays or weekends. It\u2019s become a personal favorite for Huntress staff, inspiring participation in marathons, mountain races, and more.<\/p>\n<p>\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 4px; color: rgb(38, 42, 197);\">\n        Building a Culture of Wellbeing and Achievement\n    <\/h2>\n    <p>\n        Huntress\u2019s running culture is thriving. Five team members are gearing up for the 2025 London Marathon, others have ventured into the exhilarating world of mountain marathons, and participation across offices continues to grow. The results? A fitter, more enthusiastic workforce, boosted morale, and an engaging story to share with clients and new joiners.<\/p>\n<p>\n    <\/p>\n\n    <h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 4px; color: rgb(38, 42, 197);\">\n        Voices from the Huntress Team\n    <\/h2>\n    <p><strong>Chris, CEO<\/strong><br>The most pleasing aspect has been witnessing so many &#8216;non-runners&#8217; enjoying the experience. Running has now become a part of our culture. Two recent joiners even joined the club in their second week\u2014without any prompting!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stuart<\/strong><br>Skamper is essential for our runs. The routes are practical, whether near our office or at home, and the leaderboards keep us motivated. Skamper\u2019s accuracy accounts for London\u2019s stop-and-go nature, making it my top app for running.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sarah (Leeds)<\/strong><br>The Skamper app is a fantastic way of being able to run without worrying about your route as it&#8217;s all mapped out for you! We now have a new run that starts outside our Leeds office. Being able to run from work directly on a route that is easy to follow is a great way of being able to take some time away from your desk and regroup. The rest of the team in Leeds are starting to take part, even those that historically hated any type of exercise!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hema<\/strong><br>The set routes and group support have made running consistent and enjoyable, especially in Central London. Skamper\u2019s grading system has pushed me to improve and explore new areas\u2014far more inspiring than just laps around my local park!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris<\/strong><br>As someone who thrives in a target-driven environment and loves golf, I appreciate the Skamper grading system\u2014it reminds me of a golf handicap! I\u2019m still chasing my goal of a grade of 60.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"font-size: 24px; font-weight: 700; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 4px; margin-top: 4px; color: rgb(38, 42, 197);\">\n        What\u2019s Next?\n    <\/h2>\n    <p>\n        The Huntress Run Club is just getting started.
