This is how it works

REGISTRATION:
To take part in the Virtual Charity Run you have to register - participation is completely free.

COLLECT KILOMETERS:
You will receive a link at the beginning of September to record your running activity. Between September 14 and 20, 2025 you have the opportunity to run, run or walk (run and walk intermittently) as often as you like and collect your kilometers for a good cause. You can also choose the time and place. However, you should always record the kilometers with your smartphone or a GPS watch.

You can upload your recorded kilometers with a screenshot of your smartphone or a photo of your GPS watch by 24:00 (GMT+2) on 20 September 2025.

When can I collect kilometers?

For example, you can go for a walk with your colleagues during your lunch break or do your run late in the evening if it's too hot during the day. It is only important to complete and upload your runs within the period from September 14 to 20, 2025.

Can I register at a later date?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to register from the Virtual Charity Run at a later date.
As participation in the Virtual Charity Run is free of charge, you will not incur any costs.

Are there two social partners?

That's right!
Our main sponsor, Erbe Elektromedizin GmbH, has decided to support an international organization in addition to our regional social partner.

Die Entstehung

Die Geschichte der Erbe Roadrunners beginnt 1998. Ein Mitarbeiter aus dem Vertrieb unserer Firma bildete im Vorfeld des Tübinger Stadtlaufs ein Team aus 10 Arbeitskollegen. Die damaligen Geschäftsführer Christian O. Erbe und Reiner Thede unterstützten die sportliche Initiative, sie ließen für die Gruppe T-Shirts drucken und luden die Läufer anschließend zum Frühstück ein. Das Frühstück wurde zu einer Tradition...

In Anlehnung an die Tübinger Stocherkahnrennen erhielt der langsamste Mitläufer zum Spaß eine Flasche Lebertran, die der Gründer der Erbe Roadrunners jedes Jahr mit Humor entgegennahm.
​
Mit den Jahren wuchsen die Erbe Roadrunners stetig an auf mittlerweile über 100 Mitläufer. Auch unser Engagement als Unternehmen ist intensiver geworden. Mittlerweile ist Erbe Namenssponsor und unterstützt im Rahmen des Tübinger Erbe-Laufs Sozialpartner in der Region.
​
Die Coronapandemie zwang den Veranstalter, 2020 den Lauf vollständig virtuell zu gestalten. Dies entpuppte sich jedoch als großer Erfolg. Auch für unsere Erbe Roadrunners, die nun auch aus unseren Tochterunternehmen in Amerika, Europa und Asien dazukamen.
​
Die allermeisten Erbe Roadrunners sind reine Freizeitsportler und lieben einfach die Bewegung an der frischen Luft. Doch wir können auch auf bemerkenswerte Erfolge verweisen: Unser bisher schnellster Mitläufer, Tobias Babel, erreichte 2019 mit 34:35 Minuten einen beachtlichen 18. Platz beim 10 km Lauf.
