Working together for success: 211 members of Paderborn University cycled a combined total of more than 39,000 kilometres in the STADTRADELN challenge, securing second place in the city’s rankings. Participants included staff and students, as well as their families and friends, alumni, and anyone with ties to the university. The nationwide STADTRADELN challenge involves cycling as many kilometres as possible over a 21-day period.
Awards ceremony for individual and team achievements
At Paderborn University, prizes were awarded to the best groups and individual cyclists. Marwin Dzevankowic took first place among students, having cycled around 1,177 kilometres. Among staff members, Juri Andreas cycled the furthest, covering around 1,432 kilometres. The top three individual cyclists were rewarded with, amongst other things, vouchers for the Mensa (cafeteria and dining hall) and university merchandise. In addition, there was a team challenge at Paderborn University this year: as part of the 30th anniversary of the ‘Gesunde Hochschule’ (Healthy University initiative), the ‘WorkBikeBalance’ team challenged all other team members. First place went to the team from the Computer Operations Department of the Institute of Computer Science. The four cyclists covered almost 500 kilometres each and were rewarded with time on the padel or volleyball courts, including equipment hire. “WorkBikeBalance” itself came third, with eleven members and more than 217 kilometres per person.
