Race to the Third Johanniter Blue Light's Finish Line in Regensburg
The 3rd Johanniter-Blaulichtlauf is set to take place on Friday, August 8th, at 9 PM, on the Schaeffler test track in Regensburg [1][3][4]. This charity run event invites participants to run a 1.3 km loop multiple times between 9 PM and 11 PM, with a participation fee of 20 euros [1][2].
The primary aim of the 3rd Johanniter-Blaulichtlauf is to raise funds for an emergency motorcycle for the Johanniter rescue services [1]. This motorcycle will be crucial for rapid response in emergency medical situations.
The event is supported by volunteers from six local Johanniter associations in Ostbayern, who are actively involved in various areas, including emergency services, medical services, crisis intervention, search and rescue dog squads, therapy dog services, Johanniter Youth, and many more [2].
Participants can run alone, in a team, with sporting ambition, or with a focus on community [1]. Awards will be given to the runners and teams with the most completed laps [1].
This year, refreshments and a gift for participants are generously provided by dm [1]. Proceeds from the run will be used to purchase a new emergency motorcycle for the Johanniter motorcycle squad, worth approximately 25,000 euros [1].
For more detailed information about registration, fundraising targets, and race participation, please visit the official Johanniter Bayern website or contact the Regionalverband Ostbayern [1]. As of now, around 500 participants have registered, with more joining daily [1]. Online registrations are possible until August 4th at [www.johanniter.de/blaulichtlauf] [2].
The Johanniter in Ostbayern is also known for its inclusive hotel, INCLUDiO, in Regensburg, and its involvement in hospice care through the Johannes-Hospiz in Pentling and the Bruder-Gerhard-Hospiz in Schwandorf [2]. The regional association of Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe in Ostbayern has over 1,900 full-time employees at several locations and facilities, offering various social services [2].
