13th Chemnitz company run with large participation of city employees
When the starting signal for the 13th Chemnitz company run is given on Wednesday, 5 September, 292 employees of the city will also be taking part. Last year there were 248 who ran through Chemnitz city centre.
176 women and 116 men from almost all areas of the city administration will set off from 18:30 on Hartmannplatz to complete the five-kilometre course. With 30 athletes, the Social Welfare Office is the strongest runner. In addition, 23 trainees from the city will be taking part.
The City of Chemnitz is paying the entry fees as part of its company health management programme. As last year, the employees will be running in a uniform outfit.
"We are delighted that for the third year in a row, over 200 employees of the city administration are lacing up their running shoes. This is our contribution to Chemnitz running," says Mayor Sven Schulze.
