Fulda University of Applied Sciences was once again strongly represented with 190 runners at the popular run through Fulda city centre on 9 May.

Many spectators, helpers at the refreshment stands and several live bands provided support along the almost seven-kilometre route - right up to the finish line in the Rosenbad.

"As every year, attendance at the Rhönenergie Challenge was superbly organised by University Sports," said Alexander Janzen from the Financial Management division, who has been a regular participant for more than ten years. "We had a great atmosphere on site!"

The university team had already collected kilometres in the run-up to the event as part of the "Virtual Challenge". The HFD team vouched for third place in the overall standings with a total of 5,707 kilometres.
