Around 4.450 runners from over 350 companies followed the call to the sporty after-business meeting on May 5th:

At 18:30 p.m., the starting signal for the 21st Raiffeisen Business Run was given by RLB CEO Dr. Florian Stryeck. The five-kilometre running route led from Karmeliterplatz through the city center of Graz via Schubertstraße to Hilmteich and from there back to the finish at Freedom Square.

Antenne DJs and hundreds of spectators provided goosebumps along the route. Straight from the finish line, the ultimate after-run party started: for the first time, people celebrated, danced and networked under a 700 m² party umbrella until late in the evening.

Andreas Mauerhofer, Managing Director of the business run organizer CompanyCode, is happy about the successful event: “Today we were able to show again that we are moving towards the future with innovative ideas. With our unique events, we also encourage others to do something for active joie de vivre. Innovation and motivation – both are important drivers for economic growth.”
