26th Lichtenstern - Future Marathon 2022 - AStA Heilbronn University

You like to run? You like to do something for a good cause, get to know interesting people and want to experience a colorful supporting program? Then the 26th Lichtensterner Marathon on October 12 is perfect for you.

As a result of the Corona pandemic, our social interaction in particular has changed. The inclusion of our mentally and physically impaired fellow human beings was also neglected during the pandemic. That is why we as a university* are supporting this year's Lichtenstern Marathon and would appreciate your help.

The marathon is initiated by the Evangelical Foundation Lichtenstern. This supports 1963 people with mental or multiple disabilities and their families. And it does so in all phases of life. The team now consists of more than 700 colleagues who help more than 1,000 people, in the city and district of Heilbronn and in the Hohenlohekreis.

Just drop by, run with us, have fun and be there!
