Our colleagues participate in company running event and beach volleyball cup
VWGIS team competes in beach volleyball cup in Wolfenbüttel
On 1 July, five VWGIS employees had the opportunity to take part in a beach volleyball cup together - for the first time after the Corona-related interruption.
The tournament started in the rain, which did not stop the team around Kati, Anja, Marco, Christian and Henning from achieving a good ranking and in the end a great fifth place in the overall field.
The team emphasises: "For us, the fun was in the foreground. Maybe that was the decisive reason for the good fifth place in the end, in a very ambitious field.
"Next year we want to attack again, because we have to defend our fifth place. Unfortunately, training was not really possible due to Corona, but we are all positive that such great events can now take place more often again."
Exercise and fun at the company run in Hanover
After a two-year break, it was finally time again: the B2Run company run was held in Hanover on Tuesday, 30 August. In bright sunshine, 10,000 participants from around 410 companies ran a 6.5 km course. The course led along the Maschsee lake and the Heinz von Heiden Arena, providing a wonderful backdrop.
The colleagues Justin, Ravinder, Christian, Andrej, Anna, Jan Oliver, Danilo, Monika, Sven, Jan, Martin, Smail, Jochen, Tom and Philipp did not want to miss this chance to be active together again and to start for VWGIS.
They were actively cheered on by colleagues Michel, Joachim, Lydia, Xingjian, Markus, Manina and Sarah at the roadside.
The best time of all VWGISers was achieved by Jan Oliver with 31 minutes and 19.7 seconds. But speed was not the team's top priority
"It was important for us to have fun together away from the office. A company run like this is the ideal opportunity to get moving and to show the team spirit of VWGIS to the outside world. It doesn't matter if you run or cheer for the team", sums up organiser Justin Evers.
