GET REGISTERED FOR YOUR RUN
Running connecting people! After the successful premiere last year, we are excited for the second edition of the Move and Groove Runs. All residents of Mönchengladbach are invited to put on their running shoes and hit the starting line. Whether you’re running at a leisurely pace or aiming for a new personal best, you will join other runners as you cross the old city border, connecting the districts of Mönchengladbach and Rheydt with the 5 km route. The race begins at Hugo-Junkers-Park, and the route will once again take you along the beautiful Brucknerallee to the turnaround point at Webschulstraße. After the second lap, the run will end with the finish line under the cheering of spectators. Beforehand, the 400 m Kids Active Charity Run and the 1.5 km Sparkasse Kids‘ Run will take place.
Whether you are part of a club or a solo player, whether your sport is popular or relatively unknown, you can present yourself and your sport in Rheydt and attract new members to your favourite hobby. At the international sports festival ‚Move and Groove‘, you have the opportunity to gain new members or showcase what your sport is all about. Invite people to join you and your team by presenting yourselves. Encourage them to try things out.

EXHIBITORS & ACTIVITIES 2024
We want our events to be an experience for everyone, regardless of individual limitations. That is why this year we are working closely with Lebenshilfe Mönchengladbach to make our events even more inclusive. Together with Lebenshilfe, we have evaluated the venues and checked their accessibility. There will be more visible signs and orientation aids for people with disabilities. We are also paying more attention to inclusive language and presentation in our communications and advertising. With this cooperation, we want to send out a clear signal: Everyone is welcome!
YOUR CITY.
The ‚Luisa is here!‘ campaign offers help and support to women and men who feel harassed or threatened and want to get out of an unpleasant situation. By asking “Is Luisa here?” you can contact the staff to signal that you need help. They will then accompany you to a quiet and safe place. You can decide how to proceed, whether it be contacting a friend, organizing a taxi, or even calling the police. We as a company would like to support the campaign and train our staff accordingly.
