Meeting Founders
A passion for Running
Runners Track Night was born as the result of the shared vision of Günther Scheefer, Simon Stützel and Jannik Arbogast, who wanted to fill a gap in German track and field athletics. As athletes, Simon and Jannik regularly had to travel to Belgium to participate in high-quality competitions. This motivated the founding trio to establish an alternative in Germany: A competition characterized by an excellent atmosphere, perfect organization and brilliant pacemakers in Karlsruhe.
The vision of combining a top-class competition with a special experience still characterizes the Runners Track Night today and makes it one of the most popular and successful athletics events in Germany. The motto “By athletes for athletes” has successfully endured since the first edition in 2016 and still manifests itself in an unusually young organizational team.
Günther Scheefer
Günther Scheefer, an experienced coach and dedicated member of the board of the LG Region Karlsruhe, brought his organizational expertise, his large network and a great passion for competitive sport to the event.
Simon Stützel
Simon Stützel, with a personal best of 13:41 minutes over 5000 meters and international experience as a pacemaker, provided the international contacts.
Jannik Arbogast
Jannik Arbogast, German champion over 10 km and with a record time of 13:52 minutes over 5000 meters, shared his perspective as a top national runner to focus on the needs of the athletes.
