A short break on a hectic day
Michi Löber, franchise partner of Skinfit, supports the Menzingen stage as a sponsor and tested the format for the first time last week.
The sportswear brand Skinfit has been supporting the Zugerberg Finanz Trophy for years as a stage sponsor of the Menzingen circuit. So it was time for franchise partner Michi Löber to explore "his" stage.
Michi Löber has been an independent franchise partner of Skinfi in the cantons of Zug, Lucerne and Uri since the start of 2020. He has therefore been familiar with the Trophy for three years, but ran it for the first time last week - and loved it.
All in a good mood and satisfied
He parked in the village center. On the way to the start, he was delighted to see the numerous runners and Nordic walkers who had just returned from the course in groups. All in a good mood and happy. "It was clear to me right away - there's a community here and I can be part of it," enthuses Michi. Cards drawn, stamped and off we went. Initially, the route undulated on asphalt past meadows, fields, cows and time-honored farms. Michi describes the route as follows: "The route immediately scores points with the scenic charms of the Alpine foothills, rolling hills and lush greenery. For me, it was a little break on this hectic day. About halfway through, my ambition got the better of me and I increased my pace. Suddenly it was about something for me - running against myself with the aim of running faster than usual. Then the terrain changed to a meadow path, wonderful! It was exactly what I needed at that moment. Back towards Menzingen, towards the magnificent monastery, I felt light on my feet and exhilarated."
Proud sponsor
Michi Löber likes the format of the Zugerberg Finanz Trophy: "It's contemporary because it allows for individual organization and you can still compete with others. I think of the groups I've met. It's great: you can meet up for a drink, have a chat, enjoy exercise together and enjoy a coffee and cake or other snack in the village. This format encourages people to get moving. And it doesn't always have to be the long route. Even 3.6 kilometers is very good. You can always find the time and do something for yourself and your fitness and health. I am proud to be a stage sponsor with Skinfit."
