Sprint with us: Glessen runs – and so does denkwerk

"Our charity event is usually dedicated to promoting sports in our town. But through current events we see the important things in life. Sport connects. That's another reason why I'm happy that so many colleagues from denkwerk are running again this year, or stopping by for a piece of cake."
