When Lunch Jogs Turn Into a Marathon | Team Transplan & Transsolar

At Transsolar and Transplan, we enjoy being active together. Whether competing as a team at the ArchiCup soccer tournament or joining the regular Monday lunch jogs - shared activities are an important part of our culture.

Sometimes, those activities lead to bigger goals. Clemens Müller, Volkmar Bleicher, Kim Helder, and Max Bauer decided to take on the 22nd Einstein Marathon in Ulm on September 27, 2026. Representing the Transplan / Transsolar relay team, they collectively covered the full marathon distance of 42.195 kilometers through Ulm and Neu-Ulm.

The team crossed the finish line in 3:22:17, securing 18th place out of 128 relay teams. In the mixed relay category, this result earned them 10th place among 86 teams. Wow, congratulations!

A strong performance, but more importantly, a great example of what can grow from regular lunchtime runs: team spirit, motivation, and occasionally even a marathon.
