Christian Slawiczek celebrated a painful victory on Sunday afternoon at the Blasestein Trail in St. Thomas. After a fall, his right arm and shoulder suffered some abrasions. “Do you have a medic nearby?” asked the young athlete from St. Georgen immediately after the finish. But then to give the all-clear: “I tripped over a root about halfway along the route. But it’s not that bad.” The joy of victory and the time of 49:16 minutes over the 11.9 kilometer route – including 415 meters of altitude – soon took over.

The route profile also earned women’s winner Michaela Punz-Raml respect: “I almost underestimated the climb shortly before the finish. That’s a real hammer.” It’s no wonder that after about an hour of running, a steep 16 percent incline awaits the participants.
But in the end, all 500 participants were able to feel like winners: With their entry fee, they helped the “Rheumalis” association to support children with chronic rheumatism and their families. Rheumalis chairwoman Karin Formanek was correspondingly happy about the impressive field of starters: “What we have been hoping for in the club for years has become reality here: a charity event that makes our work known and also brings a good sum of money into our club coffers has.” Nadja Winkler from the organizing team passed this praise on directly to the participants: “I am so grateful that so many followed our call and are running or joining us here.”
The high number of participants is primarily due to the variety of competitions. In addition to the Blasestein Trail, a “fun trail” with a length of 5.1 kilometers and an altitude of 165 meters was set up for amateur runners. Some school and company relay teams also started here. For example, the Saxen music secondary school with 20 girls and boys. If you wanted to take it easy, you could also cover the route using walking sticks. An offer that almost 200 people took advantage of. They also used it to fill the donation account.
