Sprint with us: Glessen runs – and so does denkwerk
Getting back on track! This is what the small sports clubs must and want with their running events. The running event 'Glessen läuft' on May 7 by TSV Glessen is a help on many levels. On the one hand, the running event is considered the perfect start to the summer running season. On the other hand, we are starting out again as a denkwerk team. In the past years, we have always started with more than eleven runners from our ranks. In recent years, this has established itself as a firm team-building measure. In addition, our colleagues were on hand to watch and cheer on the runners and to enjoy a convivial family afternoon. This year, a team is ready again. For this purpose, denkwerk has produced its own running shirt - as in previous years. The running shirt has the motto "denkwerk runs": "Sprint with us" is now the new slogan on the Glessen running shirts. So: Be part of it!
Running event for a good cause
The running event of TSV Glessen has always accompanied a charitable cause since its start. This year, the run supports refugees from Ukraine. On the one hand, refugees can participate for free in 'Glessen runs', on the other hand, the surpluses from all activities around the running event go to people from or in Ukraine. Participation in 'Glessen läuft' is free of charge for refugees. Click here to register. Running for a good cause has almost become a tradition for us at denkwerk.
"Our charity event is usually dedicated to promoting sports in our town. But through current events we see the important things in life. Sport connects. That's another reason why I'm happy that so many colleagues from denkwerk are running again this year, or stopping by for a piece of cake."
