„Did you see that? That guy ran a marathon in a suit, and in a great time.” Mimi is talking about Martin Egebjerg Olesen, who won the HCA Marathon in Odense with an impressive time of 2 hours, 27 minutes and 58 seconds – in our stylish Essential Suit

It's "ultra durable, ultra flexible, you can really do anything in it," says the German world champion in handball Michael "Mimi" Kraus to his friend, actor and fitness expert Markus Ertelt. 

Really everything? Time for the next Essential Suit performance challenge. Two double teams compete at the Berlin Hyrox: Mimi with his buddy Leonhard Holzner from NICE Athletic Club against Markus and his buddy Björn Hahn.

Hyrox is an international fitness race for professional athletes and fitness enthusiasts: 1 kilometer of running followed by a functional workout station, the whole thing is repeated eight times.

Pants, shirts and blazers are selected and the training for the two teams begins. On April 20, 2024, the time had come. The four friends give their all at the big event in Berlin. Whether burpees, rowing or sandbag lunges, they master every workout in style in the breathable Essential Suit with 360° stretch and still look stylish after successfully completing the race thanks to the wrinkle-resistant material.

With 1 hour, 2 minutes and 57 seconds, Team Black Suit with Markus finally wins the challenge and proves that full performance is also possible with the perfect style.

Watch the video with some highlights of the challenge and be inspired to overcome boundaries and reach new heights.
