Men’s Health Week falls right before Father’s Day, which is perfect timing if you ask us. It’s the ultimate excuse to round up your dad, brother and mates – and hit the track for a bit of friendly chaos. There’s nothing like the buzz of the track, the scent of victory (and burning rubber), and the bragging rights that come with shaving milliseconds off your lap time.

Yes, health is important. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be fun. Not everything has to be kale smoothies and mindfulness apps. Sometimes, good health starts with getting out, switching off your brain, and hammering it round a hairpin bend like you’re qualifying for Silverstone.

You’ve probably heard it before: men don’t talk enough. But here’s what the science says – connection isn’t just nice to have, it’s essential. Studies show that strong social ties can lower stress, reduce the risk of depression, and even help you live longer. And while deep chats over a pint are great, connection doesn’t always have to be heart-to-hearts. It can be side-by-side, doing something fun. Shared experiences build bonds, boost mood, and remind us we’re not in this alone.

Whether you’re dealing with deadlines, nappies, noisy neighbours or endless group chats, life has a habit of piling up. Men often put themselves last on the list – sometimes to the point where stress, burnout and disconnection sneak in without us even noticing. That’s why Men’s Health Week is here: to remind us that looking after ourselves doesn’t have to mean overhauling our lives. It just takes one small step. Ideally, into a go-kart.

Here’s why karting hits the mark for Men’s Health Week:

You’ll get moving: Yes, it’s fun – but it’s also physical. Your core’s engaged, your heart’s racing, and your reflexes are working overtime.

You’ll reconnect: Mental health thrives on connection. Karting’s a brilliant way to hang out without the pressure. Less awkward small talk – more overtaking.

You’ll blow off steam: There’s something therapeutic about flooring it on the straight and nailing a corner after a long week.

Whether you’re the world’s most competitive person or just in it for the post-race banter, karting is a guaranteed mood-booster. It’s a chance to reset, re-energise and remember that looking after yourself doesn’t have to be serious business.

Plus, it’s a cracking Father’s Day gift. Instead of another pair of novelty socks or a pack of craft beers, why not give Dad an experience he’ll remember? (And let him try to beat you on the leaderboard – try being the key word.)

So this June, do yourself a favour. Book a session, grab your gang, and race your way into better health – without even realising you’re doing something good for yourself. And what better way to do something than by tearing it round a bend with your mates, the wind in your helmet, and the finish line in sight? Check out our Father’s Day deals, bring your crew, and start your engines. Stress doesn’t stand a chance 🏎️🏁

For Father’s Day 2025, it’s time to leave socks and aftershave in your dust, and give your Dad something he’ll really get a kick out of. Dads, famously, love cars. From James Bond to Formula One, if there’s one thing all Dads can agree on, it’s that going fast is very cool – and a day out at Teamworks Karting is the perfect way to give the gift of speed, excitement, and a bit of healthy competition. 

With our state-of-the-art racing simulators, heart-pounding karting tracks, and immersive laser tag arenas, Teamworks Karting is the perfect place to give your Dad his Bond for the Day fantasy. Plus, there’s an onsite bar for a celebratory pint – and if we’ve learned anything from Father’s Day cards, it’s that Dads love beer.

Whether your dad is a seasoned speedster or trying karting for the first time, Teamworks Karting’s professionally designed circuits deliver a dose of pure adrenaline. Our electric karts are fast, clean and powerful – ideal for dads who enjoy a little pedal-to-the-metal action. Race side by side as a family or challenge Dad to a time trial and find out who’s really the fastest in the family. And with venues across the UK, you’re never far from a Teamworks track that’s ready to put your Father’s Day into high gear.

But the fun doesn’t need to stop just because you’ve taken your helmet off. Step into a neon-lit battle zone with laser tag – a brilliant way to team up or face off in a tactical game that gets everyone’s heart pumping. Picture your Dad crouching behind a sniper hole, or army-crawling up one of our ramps. Funny, right? No – this is serious. Your Dad is James Bond, actually.

Or maybe he’s not James Bond. Maybe he’s Michael Schumacher. For the dad who’s always dreamed of racing Le Mans or mastering Monaco, our racing simulators deliver all the thrills of motorsport with none of the risk. Featuring real F1-style setups and cutting-edge graphics, it’s as close as you can get to the real thing without a pit crew – especially since our simulators use the same technology that real F1 drivers use to train.

After the action, settle into our onsite bar and raise a glass to Dad. Whether it’s a post-race pint, a cold soft drink, or a snack to refuel, our welcoming bar areas are the perfect spot to unwind, trade race stories and soak up the atmosphere.

Still not convinced? A Teamworks Karting gift voucher makes an excellent Father’s Day present. Whether it’s a standalone treat or part of a bigger day out, vouchers can be used for karting, laser tag, or simulator racing. It’s flexibility, fun, and full throttle, all in one neat package. You can order them online and have them sent instantly via email, making them a brilliant last-minute option too.

BOOK NOW

You want to find something perfect. Something they’ll actually love. A pair of socks? A body spray set? A candle. They’ll love a candle, right? Maybe if you put it in a mug. Time to break the cycle this year, and give them something that’ll actually raise their heart rate. 

At Teamworks Karting, we’re in the business of creating memories – not clutter that’ll only gather dust. Our gift vouchers put the power of choice in your loved one’s hands, letting them decide between the thrill of go-karting, an epic Laser Tag showdown, or the high-tech fun of our simulator room. Whether you’re shopping for dad, kids, or even that tricky colleague for the office Secret Santa, we’ve got something for everyone. Ditch the hot chocolate kit, and give them what they really want this Christmas.

For Dad
Picture this: it’s Christmas morning, and your dad’s just opened up a tool kit. He musters a smile, because he’s a good Dad, and it’s nobody’s fault that Dads are impossible to buy gifts for. This year, let’s give his overflowing bits and bobs drawer a break, and hand him a Teamworks Karting voucher instead.

With our Karting 30 experience, he can spend 30 glorious minutes tearing up the track and proving he’s still got it. Give him a chance to channel his inner speed demon and relive his racing dreams – call him Lewis Hamilton, he’ll love it. And if he’s the type who gets all teary eyed watching home videos, throw in a Helmet Camera Voucher so he can capture his laps and replay his glory for everyone to see. You don’t get that out of Whiskey Stones. 

For the Kids
You don’t want to be the relative who gives them another board game they’ll play once, or a toy that’s broken by New Year’s Eve. This year, be the cool aunt or uncle who gifts a Teamworks experience instead.

Our Laser Tag Voucher covers three action-packed games in our state-of-the-art Laser Tag arena. Lights, smoke, heart-pounding music, and the closest thing to real life Fortnite you can find. 

Come on. Kids don’t really want iPads. They want battle armour and a gun that shoots lasers.

For your Boss
We’ve all been there — stuck in the office Secret Santa with a £25 limit and no clue what to buy. Candles? Too generic. A novelty mug? Yuck. This year, you’re going to shake things up.

For just £25, give your colleague a taste of the action and let them choose how they want to spend it. Maybe they’ll opt for simulator racing, zooming around iconic tracks without ever leaving the city. Or perhaps they’ll go head-to-head with friends in a high-stakes game of Laser Tag.

Either way, they’ll remember it more than a bottle of wine.
