In the idyllic town of Ratingen, a running club has made a name for itself: the Hot Runners Ratingen. What started as a small group of running enthusiasts has now grown into a community that not only celebrates athletic success but also fosters strong social bonds.
The Origins of the Hot Runners
The story of the Hot Runners began more than a decade ago, when a group of runners decided to train together and participate in competitions. The idea was simple: “Together we are stronger”. This philosophy has shaped the club from the very beginning and remains at the heart of Hot Runners Ratingen to this day. Whether you are just starting to run or have been running for years – at Hot Runners you will find the support and motivation you need.
Training
The Hot Runners offer regular training sessions tailored to the different needs and performance levels of their members. Whether it's early morning runs before work, intense interval training, or relaxed jogging sessions on weekends – the program is as diverse as the runners themselves. Especially popular are the joint runs around the Grüner See, where runners come together every Wednesday for their weekly meet-up.
Competitions and Events
The Hot Runners regularly take part in running events – whether regional, national, or even international. It's not just about achieving personal bests, but about enjoying the shared experience. Highlights include numerous participations in the Berlin Marathon, the half/full marathon in Luxembourg, various Ironman events, as well as local runs in and around Ratingen, which are very popular among members.
Hot Runners Ratingen is more than just a running club – it is a community that connects, inspires, and achieves great things together.
