Strong together at the THURINGIA SOUTH COMPANY RUN® 2025
On 23 August 2025, our team participated in this year's THURINGIA SOUTH COMPANY RUN® 2025 with full energy and high spirits.
In perfect running weather, a total of 12 colleagues from various departments took part – a great sign of our team spirit and our shared enthusiasm for exercise and health.
The atmosphere was great even during the warm-up: music, motivational shouts, and a few jokes quickly dispelled any nervousness.
At 6:00 p.m. the starting signal was given for the running and Nordic walking events. Our runners set off on the 4.5 km course at the LOTTO Thüringen ARENA am Rennsteig in Oberhof.
In addition, the mascot run and the office chair race provided lots of fun for all participants and numerous spectators.
With a total of 4,245 runners, the following colleagues were particularly successful and secured places at the top of the rankings:
236th place in the individual classification: Jörg
162nd place in the women's individual classification: Bianka N.
54th and 226th place in the Birxsteig Trail: Jeanette and Uwe
112th place in the overall team classification: Jörg, Sebastian F., Uwe, Sebastian K.
Our Nordic walking team Anja, Peggy, and Marcel were proud of their achievement:
“It was clear to us from the start: we would start together and cross the finish line together. With a time of 46 minutes, we were in the good midfield, and that's enough for us.”
But the focus was not on the ranking, but on the sense of community: arriving together, celebrating together.
“The race was really exhausting, but it was also a lot of fun!”
Cool drinks, good conversation, and lots of smiles awaited us at the finish line.
The evening ended with a convivial after-run party and it quickly became clear: We'll be back again next year!
A big thank you to all participants, organizers, and supporters along the route. You made this day a special experience!
