When can I collect kilometers?

Die Entstehung

Die Geschichte der Erbe Roadrunners beginnt 1998. Ein Mitarbeiter aus dem Vertrieb unserer Firma bildete im Vorfeld des Tübinger Stadtlaufs ein Team aus 10 Arbeitskollegen. Die damaligen Geschäftsführer Christian O. Erbe und Reiner Thede unterstützten die sportliche Initiative, sie ließen für die Gruppe T-Shirts drucken und luden die Läufer anschließend zum Frühstück ein. Das Frühstück wurde zu einer Tradition...

In Anlehnung an die Tübinger Stocherkahnrennen erhielt der langsamste Mitläufer zum Spaß eine Flasche Lebertran, die der Gründer der Erbe Roadrunners jedes Jahr mit Humor entgegennahm.
​
Mit den Jahren wuchsen die Erbe Roadrunners stetig an auf mittlerweile über 100 Mitläufer. Auch unser Engagement als Unternehmen ist intensiver geworden. Mittlerweile ist Erbe Namenssponsor und unterstützt im Rahmen des Tübinger Erbe-Laufs Sozialpartner in der Region.
​
Die Coronapandemie zwang den Veranstalter, 2020 den Lauf vollständig virtuell zu gestalten. Dies entpuppte sich jedoch als großer Erfolg. Auch für unsere Erbe Roadrunners, die nun auch aus unseren Tochterunternehmen in Amerika, Europa und Asien dazukamen.
​
Die allermeisten Erbe Roadrunners sind reine Freizeitsportler und lieben einfach die Bewegung an der frischen Luft. Doch wir können auch auf bemerkenswerte Erfolge verweisen: Unser bisher schnellster Mitläufer, Tobias Babel, erreichte 2019 mit 34:35 Minuten einen beachtlichen 18. Platz beim 10 km Lauf.
