Strausseelauf — Uta Joins This Fun Run Where She Spent Much of Her Childhood
This will be Uta’s eleventh time joining the race. The event is a local tradition dating back to 1924, the second oldest event of this kind in Germany. It also was part of Uta’s childhood memories and younger running years.
Looking forward to a beautiful Autumn day, Uta will jogging the 9.2K course with the adults and older youths. There is also a shorter 2.2K and 4.1K course. Afterwards, she will help with the awards ceremony and enjoying some talk with friends of the running community.
For more information about the race please visit www.Strausseelauf.de and for Uta’s Blog about the event please see “‘Strausseelauf’—On Autumn Trails to Memories of my Childhood and Youth.” The link also includes an excerpt from an interview, which Uta was invited to do as part of a project for the Strausberg “Theodor Fontane” high school, which she attended as a teenager. Johanna Tomalik, a student at the school, conducted the interview.
