European Darathon Görlitz: Record participants and new routes are waiting!

Görlitz, Deutschland - A big sporting festival took place last weekend in Görlitz and Zgorzelec: the 20th European Arathon attracted a record number of 2,800 runners from near and far. The routes led across the border and not only offered the participants sporting challenges, but also an insight into the picturesque landscape of the region. The event was accompanied by a consistently positive mood on how the impressions of the participants and spectators impressively demonstrate. sächsische.de reports that Görlitz's district administrator also became active and acted as a helper for a visually impaired runner.

The organization of the event, which was carried out under the roof of the European Arathon Görlitz - Zgorzelec e.V. with the support of the city administration Zgorzelec, proved great skills and care. The routes that were officially measured led the participants through a wavy profile, which fulfilled both marathon and half marathon runners. There were also seasons and various runs that include the whole family. Registrations were possible both online and on site, which made participation easy.

news from Görlitz

Not only the marathon caused excitement in Görlitz. Entrepreneur Klaus Dussa is investing in the region by reviving a former village shop in Friedersdorf. With fresh ideas, the shop should not only boost the local economy, but also become a popular meeting place for wedding companies.

In addition, the next mayor election in Görlitz is due for the coming year. Initial owner Octavian Ursu (CDU) will announce after the summer break whether he would like to compete again. The city council will then set an election date.

The positive development of the region is also underlined by the planned railway test center in the Görlitz district. A modern center for rail vehicles is to be created there, but everything depends on the requirements of an investor to be found. my.raceresult.com also offers comprehensive information about the next Europeanarathon, which has already been announced for June 9, 2024, with an exciting "Nootle Party" as a preliminary.

the picture of Görlitz is rounded off by the talented Abed Jiji. The 17-year-old student of the Görlitz music school plans to study music. He fled with his family from Aleppo to Germany in 2014 and is now taking part in the "Jugend musiziert" federal competition - a real hope for the future.
