Team EVO at the Blankenese Heldenlauf

On August 31, 2025, the time had come – at the 21st Blankenese Heldenlauf more than 2,900 participants ran along the Elbe and through the famous staircase quarter. Team EVO was part of it: 15 runners took on the 6.5 km course – starting right at the riverbank, passing the Hirschpark, through Blankenese, and finishing at the weekly market square.

To ensure the best preparation, EVO Blankenese hosted regular running sessions in the weeks leading up to the race with Katharina Nüser, multiple-time winner of the 11 km distance at the Heldenlauf. With her experience and expertise, our participants gained valuable tips for technique and endurance.

On race day, all EVO runners took to the start line in turquoise EVO shirts. Before the run, our Gym Manager Nathalie from Blankenese led the warm-up – adding extra motivation, great vibes, and plenty of energy for the race.

Good spirits, perfect running weather, and a strong team spirit made the day a true highlight. For EVO, the Blankenese Heldenlauf was not only a sporting event but also a fantastic community experience – and we’re already looking forward to next year!
