Run, secova, run!

It’s time to get our circulation going again: We at secova have therefore announced the “Run, Ride & Walk Challenge 2022” for all “Secovians”! What is behind it? Well, this June we would like to actively collect kilometers together for a good cause (again). We decide for ourselves whether we want to do this by running, cycling or walking/hiking. Both alone and as part of a team. Because the important thing is: every kilometer counts! In the end, we will convert every kilometer into one euro and then donate the total amount.

The incentive to become (more) active again is one thing. The other is to be able to move closer together again as secova. The pandemic had – unusually for us – severely restricted joint activities. But now we also want to literally get going together again! For us “office workers”, physical fitness is also a great health-promoting component. Our rules are very simple: we record (“track”) our runs, rides and walks via the running app in the secova group, have fun 🙂 and then settle up at the end of the month!

Each for themselves and all together – that’s our motto during the “Run, Ride & Walk Challenge 2022”. We also want to strengthen the “together” aspect in particular and have planned four team events for this month. Our “Walk & Talk” followed by a “Chill & Grill” took place on Friday afternoon (10.06.). The walk group set off in search of nostalgic traces of former secova business premises – “back to the roots”, so to speak. On the third weekend in June (18/19/06), five daring Secovians are not afraid of mud or the devil’s weather at the “Mud Masters” in Arnsberg. For the 21.06. we are planning an after-work bike ride together and on the last day of June we would like to go jogging together during the lunch break. Everything can and nothing/no one has to! All kilometers are also counted twice for participation in the team events.

In previous years “before Corona”, we have already collected kilometers during our active months and converted them into donations for various organizations. This year, we are delighted to be able to support the intensive trauma education residential group run by Evangelische Jugendhilfe Münsterland in Tecklenburg. The young people living there experienced violence, abuse and a lack of emotional care at an early age. With our donation, we would like to support this year’s vacation camp at the North Sea and enable them to enjoy other activities and highlights in addition to beach excursions. Thank you, Dennis, for your great donation tip! And what are the personal goals in Team secova? From a relaxed “Walk & Grill” (Lukas) to “100km run” (Heike) or “300km bike ride” (Christoph) to “off into the mud” (Thomas), everything is included…
