DPD Switzerland sponsors three more fun runs

Buchs - In the next three years, DPD Switzerland will not only appear as a sponsor for the SwissCityMarathon – Lucerne, but will also support the Kerzerslauf, the Auffahrtslauf St.Gallen, and the Greifenseelauf runs. The Swiss affiliate of the German parcel service provider is also setting up a running community within the company.

(CONNECT) Over the coming three years, DPD Switzerland will aid four major fun runs with sponsorships. The parcel service provider has already provided funding for the SwissCityMarathon – Lucerne (SCML) since 2021. According to a press release, the Kerzerslauf, Auffahrtslauf St. Gallen, and the Greifenseelauf will now also receive support.

In parallel with this sponsorship, DPD Switzerland is establishing the DPD Pacemaker Community within its own company. This aims to help employees, their relatives and friends, plus clients and partners with their training and runs. The program includes coaching from Olympic silver medallist Markus Ryffel, yoga, and nutritional advice.

DPD’s Communications Specialist Ana Cardoso commented: “The enthusiasm from our employees, whom we have seen at the SCML over recent years, is just unbelievable. The new sponsoring commitments strengthen our DPD Pacemaker Community and help to create an active and healthy working environment.”

Remo Seelhofer, OPS Development & LEAN Manager at DPD Switzerland, has already registered for all of the runs. He stated: “The running community at DPD is growing steadily, which makes me really happy.” Reto Schorno, Managing Director of the marathon based in Lucerne, believes "that healthy and motivated people are also the key to a successful company. It means a great deal to us that DPD not only supports us wonderfully but also motivates its employees to come to the start line with us.” ce/mm
