The last weekend of June 2025 was all about exercise, team spirit and social commitment at the SHD Group, twice over. On Friday and Saturday, our colleagues took to the course at the B2Run in Koblenz and joined the cycling marathon in Andernach in support of the “VOR-TOUR der Hoffnung” charity.
On Friday, 27 June 2025, the SHD team lined up full of energy at the B2Run in Koblenz. In perfect summer weather, 36 colleagues, partners and family members tackled the roughly 5-kilometre course between the Rhine and Moselle rivers. Crossing the finish line at the Deutsches Eck was once again an emotional highlight.
From 4:15 pm, the SHD tent served as the meeting point for catching up, taking photos and getting ready. After the group team photo, the “Fun Starter” group set off at 6:15 pm. Finishing times ranged from 25 to 40 minutes, an impressive performance in the high temperatures.
Alongside the sporting ambition, there was plenty of fun too: refreshments and snacks were provided, and three lucky winners took home attractive prizes in the internal raffle. The day ended on a high note, with plenty of smiling faces and calls for a repeat next year.
The sporting weekend continued on Saturday, 28 June 2025: nine SHD colleagues took part in the cycling marathon at monte mare Andernach, a charity event in aid of the “VOR-TOUR der Hoffnung”, which has supported children with cancer and their families for many years.
Between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm, participants could decide for themselves how long they wanted to ride, accompanied by energising music, motivating presenters and a fantastic atmosphere. The SHD participants pedalled together from 1 pm to 2 pm, demonstrating not only athletic commitment but also heart for a good cause.
SHD supported the campaign with a donation of 1,000 euros, presented by our CFO Bernd Anspach.
The supporting programme left nothing to be desired either: a pasta party, snacks and a relaxing sauna visit rounded off the day perfectly.
Whether running or cycling, this weekend once again showed just how much team spirit, motivation and social commitment there is at SHD. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part, organised and supported. We are already looking forward to the next events!
