350 runners defy rain in the 10th AOK Schwäpo company run in Aalen!

Around 350 runners defy the rain in the 10th AOK Schwäpo company run in Aalener Rohrwang. Despite uncomfortable weather conditions, the participants from 33 companies could not be discouraged and found themselves on time for the event in the Centus-Arena. "The weather situation is not quite as we imagined. But that doesn't prevent us," said the organizer Jens Manz. And so rain ponchos were put on and the mood stayed up despite the weather.

at 5 p.m. the starting shot for the 6.5 and 9 kilometers runners and the walkers were given. The focus here was not on the competition, but the joint fun and team education. "The good thing is, there are no losers. It's about fun and joy," said Regina regional from the Samaritanstift. AOK boss Hans-Joachim Seuferlein finished the nine-kilometer round and felt encouraged by the good atmosphere. The run was a complete success-with team spirit and sporting enthusiasm, the afternoon in the stadium atmosphere became unforgettable, as well as by www.schwaebische-post.de reports .
