Participation in the Wings-for-Life World Run and World PH-Tag run for a good cause
Members of the Triathlon department of SG Arheilgen were on the road several times in early May for a good cause. On May 4, Ulrike Bickert took part in the worldwide charity run "Wings for Life World Run". The revenue of the run flowed 100 percent into spinal cord research. It is run internationally at the same time - with app or together on site. 30 minutes after the start there is a so -called "Catcher Car". If you are obtained from this, the race ends. Ulrike Bickert started relaxed and was caught up with the virtual car after 10.89 kilometers.
On May 5, other SGA runners were involved in the World PH-Day run, which draws attention to the rare disease "pulmonary hypertension". The event took place in Frankfurt and offered two symbolic routes: the 1-kilometer zebra run (symbol of rare diseases) and the 5-kilometer elmo-free run, named after a deceased children's cardiologist.
Marina Lefort and Axel Reinhardt (SGA CEO) completed the 5 kilometers. Lefort finished after 24:21 minutes and became the first in her age group W50. Reinhardt followed two seconds later (24:23 minutes) and reached fourth place in the AK M55. Henri Lassig (sporting director of the SGA) completed both routes one after the other - 1 kilometer in 11:25 minutes (AK M30, 1st place) and the 5 kilometers in 1:16:58 hours. Bernd Eisele was also there for the SGA. The Arheilger athletes were supported by Rainer Kappes (BSG Merck), Astrid Gelsema and Lothar Esser (Spiridon Frankfurt).
The sporting use of the participants was under the motto: "Just be there - for a good cause."
