Doing good, building fitness, and enjoying fantastic weather – that’s what the second DEBATIN Charity Tour was all about! On 15 May 2022, the participants jumped onto their bicycles and set off from Freudenstadt towards Rastatt, and then on to Bruchsal – all for a good cause.
The second DEBATIN Charity Tour: cycling along the River Murg
On the first DEBATIN Charity Tour, our dedicated cyclists followed the Rhine to DEBATIN Hoenheim, and then returned to us by train. This time round, the team took the train to Freudenstadt and then cycled from there through Rastatt and back to Bruchsal. Now, anyone who knows the area is surely jeering that the route from the Black Forest to the Rhine is all downhill. Well, that’s mainly true. However, there were one or two climbs on the route. A total elevation gain of 500 metres might not sound like a lot, but for us “flat country cyclists”, they added up to quite a challenge. We chose to follow the Tour de Murg, a high quality cycle route of 67 km. Our thinking was that by keeping the route a bit shorter, we would encourage more people to participate, and could thus raise a similar total to September 2021. And, thanks to the many new faces in the group who wanted to make their contribution to the amount donated, we successfully met our target, with 1404 kilometres ridden in total by 15 cyclists! The donations went to the same charity as last year’s ride – Sterntaler e.V., a children’s hospice in Mannheim.
We’re delighted to have been able to support this cause and we’ve already got the Third DEBATIN Charity Tour in the calendar:
On 25 September 2022 we’ll be back on our bikes! For this one, we’re planning a circular route: Bruchsal – Germersheim – Speyer – Bruchsal.
Twenty-fifth Bruchsaler Hoffnungslauf: the DEBATEAM at the Bruchsal charity fun run
For two years, the COVID-19 pandemic prevented the “Bruchsaler Hoffnungslauf” from being run, at least in its usual form. However, on 21 May 2022, the charity run made a comeback, under the slogan “back to the roots”. True, the traditional big party wasn’t back on the programme, but on the other side of the coin, the 2022 run through Bruchsal city centre celebrated the anniversary of the “Hoffnungslauf” – and the DEBATEAM was there!
In fact, DEBATIN was proud to be cheering on more than 20 participants. At the Bruchsal charity run, anything goes: running, walking, strolling, fast or slow. Dogs and babies in pushchairs join in the fun, too! The main thing is to notch up laps and kilometres – all for a good cause. And that’s just what the DEBATEAM did. In total, our team clocked up 154 kilometres, and we’re delighted to have been able to match them with our donation.
The donations this year are going to refugees; in particular, people who have had to leave their homes and countries due to war.
