After the night show at the Trophy
After their night-time tour on the stage in Ennetsee, Joscha Tanner and his father René have already completed the current stage in Menzingen.
The Zugerberg Finanz Trophy is always full of extremely inspiring stories. Including that of René and Joscha Tanner. Because they couldn't make it home by public transport after the night performance, they walked the long route in Lake Ennet.
The helpers from the club responsible for the stage often meet sports enthusiasts for a chat while emptying the machine. In order to record the times correctly in the system, they sometimes have to decipher puzzlingly filled-out cards. Daniel Föllmi, responsible for the Ennetsee stage, was amazed when he discovered the start and finish times between 1.30 a.m. and 5 a.m. while scanning the cards. Curious, he asked the two participants René and Joscha Tanner and learned their amusing story.
First train missed, another round added
René Tanner from Hochdorf attended the night show at the cinema in Ebikon with his son Joscha. They were aware that they would not be able to get back to Seetal by public transport afterwards. They only made it as far as the Hünenberg Chämleten S-Bahn stop, which is right next to the start of the Ennetsee stage. They therefore had the spontaneous idea of bridging the night by taking part in the Trophy. So they packed their running clothes, sneakers and headlamps for their night-time excursion. When they arrived at the Hünenberg Chämleten terminus after the show, the two of them walked the 14-kilometre Trophy route. Unfortunately, they then missed the first train to Hochdorf at dawn. No problem for the pair, who simply completed the middle 5.1-kilometre route as well.
Socks motivate
They spent half the night on the road, where hedgehogs and foxes say goodnight. After their night-time adventure, René and Joscha had breakfast on site before heading home at 7am. Joscha's original motivation was to collect a few Trophy kilometers to earn the cool running socks as a reward for the altitude challenge. He might wear the socks at the Zermatt Half Marathon, for which he has registered with his father René. Perhaps he will also wear them at the Biel 100-kilometer run, another project of the two of them.
