Together for a good cause
Join our customer and employee charity run
The 9th annual “ZwickRoell runs the world” starts on July 31, 2025. We’re inviting all of our customers, suppliers, and employees worldwide to join. Our goal is to run, hike, or walk 200,000 km in 60 days together. If we reach our goal, ZwickRoell will donate €100,000 to social and charitable organizations and initiatives. As a participant, you are welcome to submit a charity suggestion (zwickroell.runs@zwickroell.com). The only requirement is that you are active in the organization yourself.
It’s as easy as this:
- Register in the app
- Record your kilometers (running, walking, hiking) between July 31 and September 28.
- Optional: Submit a charity suggestion
€374,000 in donations since 2017
Since the start of ZwickRoell runs the world, over €374,000 in donations have been collected for 135 organizations and initiatives in over 30 countries. Together we are doing something good — not only for others, but for our own health too.
Join in and run, walk, or hike with us!
A record result for our running challenge: more than a quarter million euros donated
ZwickRoell Runs the World: more than a quarter million euros donated
Since the beginning of our ZwickRoell Runs the World running challenge in 2017, the company has donated a total of 374,000 euros to charitable causes. In the past, donations have gone to initiatives and institutions worldwide that support and promote disadvantaged children, animal welfare and environmental protection. Management has also announced the kilometer target for the coming year—and set the bar even higher: in 2024, we’re aiming for a collective 220,000 kilometers and a new donation amount of 110,000 euros.
About the initiative:
As part of the running challenge, the athletes enter their number of completed kilometers or miles in an app. They can also submit suggestions for social causes and charitable initiatives, which will receive a cash donation if the specified kilometer target is reached. The only condition: the person submitting the suggestion must be personally involved with that organization. Running challenge participants include employees and their families, as well as ZwickRoell customers and partners from all over the world.
