This year we participated again as a team in the Merck company run. After 4500 participants were at the start last year due to corona, this year 5798 runners crossed the finish line after a distance of between approx. 3 and 10 km. Due to the higher number of participants and the partly very narrow course around the Böllenfalltor in Darmstadt, the pace was slow at the beginning and there were also some small traffic jams along the course. Of course, this did not stop us from being motivated to keep going. We all made it to the finish line and are proud to have been there again. After the run, we could strengthen ourselves with food and drink at the Merck Stadium and were able to round off the successful day.

As always, it was fun to accomplish something as a team.
