The first eCycling team for prisoners. https://campaignsoftheworld.com/ooh-campaigns/the-breakaway-by-decathlon/ Fri, 09 Apr 2021 17:27:10 +0000 https://campaignsoftheworld.com/?p=23710 In a maximum security prison in Oudenaarde, Belgium, Decathlon launches The Breakaway. The first eCycling team for prisoners. They will be riding and racing with people from the outside world on the virtual cycling platform Zwift. The initiative is part of Decathlon’s broader vision to make sport accessible for all. The Breakaway was created in collaboration with “De Rode Antraciet” vzw, a non-profit advocating sports & culture within prisons, Cellmade, and the Belgian Department of Justice.

Can a virtual sport help inmates reintegrate into the real world?

6 inmates from Oudenaarde prison race with thousands of riders on the outside world, in the virtual world of Zwift.

They challenge themselves to go for it. To become better.
Better than other riders, and better than themselves.

Sport can free people.
Replace negative thoughts with positive thoughts.
Sport is freedom. Even when you’re stuck between four walls.
