Lousberglauf: Together with Studierendenwerk!

After last summer’s cancellation, everyone involved is looking forward all the more to the first Wednesday in July, when the legendary Lousberglauf will finally kick off again on Rütscher Straße. Studierendenwerk Aachen is also ready after a one-year break: As a social service provider for students in the areas of dining halls and residence halls, it has supported the race for decades—particularly as the operator of the four student towers at the Lousberg, which serve as the center of the action on race day.

Here’s how Studierendenwerk supports the organizers
Every year, Studierendenwerk makes part of the dormitory grounds around the towers available. Participants can use the dormitory’s restroom facilities before and after the race, while the Studierendenwerk’s cleaning staff ensure everything stays clean. Electricians provide power for timing and the stage program, and the caretakers of the four towers are on site to serve as points of contact.

The Studierendenwerk’s dining department also plays an important role: It caters the VIP and press pavilion and provides the volunteer teams with freshly made sandwiches early in the morning. This year, for the first time, runners will also receive a small snack after crossing the finish line—apples and bananas to refresh them.

Over the Hill with Energy: Power Menus in the dining halls 
To get everyone in the mood for the race, the dining halls are also getting into the spirit. Every year, the chefs serve special power menus designed to give athletes a boost of energy. This year, the “Mit-Power-über-den-Berg-Gerichte” dishes will even be available on three days.

Shared Goals
Close collaboration with Hochschulsportzentrum for Lousberglauf is particularly important to Studierendenwerk. This long-standing partnership demonstrates how both organizations work together to promote the joy of physical activity and, in turn, the well-being of students.

Ute von Drathen, Head of Corporate Communications, emphasizes: “In addition to good food in our dining halls, the joy of sports and physical activity also contributes to students’ health. This shared goal has always connected us with Hochschulsportzentrum and continues to inspire our collaboration time and again.”

Studierendenwerk is eagerly looking forward to a successful Lousberglauf, wishes all participants ideal conditions and Hochschulsportzentrum a successful event—and, of course, perfect running weather!
