๐ฅโ๏ธ Heat, cheers, and a new participation record: The 21st Heel-Lauf once again got Baden-Baden moving. ๐โโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ๐ ย With temperatures well above 30ยฐC (86ยฐF), a total of 6,159 runners aged 5 to 94 took part โ more than ever before. This significantly surpassed last yearโs record once again. ๐๐ ๐ ย Whether it was the Bambini and student races, the 4 km walking route, the 4 km run, or the 10 km run, the entire city was on its feet. Along the course, an incredible crowd created an amazing atmosphere. Creative signs such as โIโm supposed to be at a construction site โ all I see are machinesโ or โTap here to power upโ brought smiles to many participantsโ faces โ and hardly anyone passed the painted power button without giving it a high-five. ๐๐๐ ย Numerous water stations, cooling showers, and many dedicated residents helped runners stay cool by spraying them with garden hoses. A small gesture with a big impact. ๐ง๐ฟโค๏ธ ย Perhaps the best refreshment awaited just beyond the finish line: the local fire department stood ready with water hoses, providing the perfect cool-down. ๐ฟ๐๐ฆ Afterwards, participants headed to the finisher area, where fruit, pretzel sticks, braided yeast bread, and drinks were waiting for them. As always, everything was provided free of charge for all athletes. ๐ฟ๐๐ฅจ ย Together, everyone created the unique atmosphere that makes the Heel-Lauf such a special event year after year. ๐คโจ๐ ย We are especially proud that the Heel-Lauf has long become much more than a running event. It inspires people to stay active, promotes a healthy lifestyle, strengthens the sense of community, and brings people together โ both within our company and far beyond it. ๐๐โโ๏ธ๐ ย Baden-Badenโs Mayor Thomas Jung was equally enthusiastic: โThe Heel-Lauf is a fantastic event for Baden-Baden. Throughout the year, two events make Baden-Baden feel especially young: the New Pop Festival and the Heel-Lauf.โ ๐๏ธ๐๐ ย A heartfelt thank you to all participants, volunteers, helpers, and the many spectators along the course. We are already looking forward to the next Heel-Lauf with you! ๐๐๐ ย ๐ Find impressions, the detailed event report, and the results here: https://lauf.heel.de/ ย #HeelLauf #BadenBaden #TeamSpirit #CorporateHealth #Running #Health #Community
