ZwickRoell Runs the World
This year again, we will run together for a good cause—July 31, 2025 marks the kickoff for our 9th annual “ZwickRoell Runs the World” challenge.
As always, in addition to ZwickRoell employees and friends, we are excited to invite our customers to participate in this event. No matter what country they are in or whether they are a machine operator or a laboratory manager, everyone is welcome to participate.
The challenge starts on July 31st and ends on September 28th. Our goal is to collectively run, walk, and hike 200,000 km. Every kilometer can be recorded using our ZwickRoell Web app (Web app instructions).
Finally, and most importantly: If we reach our goal, ZwickRoell will donate € 100,000 to a good cause. Employees and customers can make suggestions for activities/organizations. There is just one condition: the employee or customer must be actively involved in the activity/organization.
We hope to have many participants so that we reach 200,000 km.
Running challenge record results: more than a quarter million euros donated
ZwickRoell Runs the World: more than a quarter million euros donated
Since the beginning of our ZwickRoell Runs the World running challenge in 2017, the company has donated a total of 374,000 euros to charitable causes. In the past, donations have gone to initiatives and institutions worldwide that support and promote disadvantaged children, animal welfare and environmental protection. Management has also announced the kilometer target for the coming year—and set the bar even higher: in 2024, we’re aiming for a collective 220,000 kilometers and a new donation amount of 110,000 euros.
About the initiative:
As part of the running challenge, the athletes enter their number of completed kilometers or miles in an app. They can also submit suggestions for social causes and charitable initiatives, which will receive a cash donation if the specified kilometer target is reached. The only condition: the person submitting the suggestion must be personally involved with that organization. Running challenge participants include employees and their families, as well as ZwickRoell customers and partners from all over the world.
