Because of Corona, the “Alpenland Company Run” fell through this year.
Now organizer Rudi Utzinger is starting a new attempt: The major event is now set to start on June 22, 2021.
The main sponsors have also already been found.
Geretsried - In June the “Alpenland Company Run 2020” had to be canceled due to Corona.
A planned replacement date in October cannot take place because of the pandemic.
For 2021, the organizer Rudi Utzinger, owner of Intersport Utzinger, is making a new attempt.
On Tuesday, June 22nd, 2021, the major event for companies, schools and organizations in the Oberland should take place.
The Geretsried businessman already has the Oberland Economic Forum, Sparkasse Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen, the building company Krämmel, AOK-Gesundheitskasse and the city of Geretsried on board as main sponsors.
At a press conference, their representatives emphasized in unison how much they wanted the popular running event to take place next year.
Alpenland company run: Organizer starts a new attempt
In 2019, Utzinger mastered the company run initiated by Christian Walter on his own for the first time - with great success.
There was a great atmosphere both during the run at 34 degrees Celsius and at the party that followed.
The sporting goods retailer would like to build on that.
“The program is ready,” he says.
It is ideal that Karl-Lederer-Platz will be available again as a start and finish point as well as a party mile after the redesign.
The approximately six-kilometer running route will be led around the construction site on Egerlandstrasse, whereby it will be "integrated in some way".
“We want to show the participants and visitors from the surrounding area what is great here in Geretsried,” says Utzinger.
As in previous years, the starting shot, given by Mayor Michael Müller, should be given at 7 p.m.
The established moderator duo Peter Maisenbacher and Roland Balzer will hold the award ceremony from 8 p.m.
The “Rattlesnake Torpedos” and six go-go girls have confirmed their attendance for the “after-run party”.
Utzinger wants to hire even more caterers than usual so that nobody has to stand in line for food and drinks.
Mayor Müller should give the starting shot again
The 62-year-old is optimistic that the Alpenland company run will work out in 2021.
“This is such a nice and relaxed event.
I would really like it to happen, ”affirmed Andreas Roß, the district's economic development agency and chairman of the Oberland Economic Forum.
Mayor Michael Müller thanked Rudi Utzinger and his team for starting planning for the run today.
“For us as a city it goes without saying that we support him in this.
After all, the company run is not only a great pleasure for the participating runners, but also for their companions and all other visitors, ”says Müller.
