After a two-year break due to COVID-19, the Sinsheim Company Run finally took place again on July 7, 2022. This year, a small but highly motivated group of runners took part on behalf of Fischer! Three teams (two men's teams and one mixed team) took on the 5.1 km course, which this year once again led along the airfield to downtown Sinsheim. Together with around 1,000 other runners, they set off from the Helmut Gmelin Stadium at 7 p.m. in "cool" 20-degree weather. The tension was unbearable, and the minutes ticked by—without a starting signal! What had happened?
An obstacle on the course ultimately delayed the start by 20 minutes. This was a test of patience for all participants, as wind and drizzle did not make the wait any more pleasant. However, once the race was underway, the weather had little effect on the mood, and the numerous spectators provided the necessary motivation during the run. Many thanks to our colleagues along the route who cheered loudly for the best performances. This resulted in some fantastic results and times! Nico Hefner and Tobias Schilling once again battled it out in a neck-and-neck race that ended in a photo finish, securing excellent places in the individual rankings among the TOP 50.
For the first time, the after-run party and award ceremony did not take place in the Elsenzhalle, but outdoors in the beer garden in front of the youth center. The surprise of the day: the Fischer mixed team (from left: Tobias Schilling, Simon Wollanka, Denise Polster, and Nico Hefner) came in third place out of a total of 76 teams. This triumph was celebrated appropriately with a cold beer, and even the sun came out at the end, as befits such an occasion.
Wir bedanken uns bei allen Läufern-/ innen und freuen uns auf das nächste Jahr.
