ECM officials and alumni actively prove their energy performance

At ECM, it's all about energy - and some of it is spent on sports!

Once again, Professor Peter Treffinger, ECM Program Director, diligently trained the Offenburg University Team to participate in the locally and nationally renowned "Worldclass Mountainbike Marathon Challenge" in Offenburg this May, which attracted more than one thousand participants.

Due to heavy rain, racing conditions were tough (just take a look at the pictures), but that did not deter Professor Treffinger from enjoying the Challenge and even significantly improving his performance over last year.

  

One month later in June, an international team of five ECM alumni - one of them coming all the way down from Hamburg - and the ECM Coordinator, Alexandra Raunig, participated in the relay run of the Mannheim Night Marathon.
The atmosphere in the city was amazing, both night and day, and everybody enjoyed it a lot, including not only the runners, but also a team of supporters, consisting of students and graduates of Hochschule Offenburg.


We very much hope to to encourage more ECM students, graduates, and maybe even professors, to join the fun and participate in future sports events!
