Following its successful premiere last year, the Andreasturm Challenge is entering its second round. On Saturday, September 26, Hildesheim Marketing is once again inviting sports enthusiasts to climb Lower Saxony's tallest church tower in a race against the clock. 364 steps and a height of 114,5 meters await all those who want to take on this unique challenge.

The race leads through the historic tower of St. Andrew's Church, past the bell tower and the old mechanical clockwork, up to the viewing platform. Once at the top, the runners are rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of Hildesheim – on a clear day, the view even extends to the Brocken mountain. In addition to the established age groups, this year's race will also feature... two new special categories for added excitement. In the Blue Light Challenge Members of the fire department, rescue service, THW (Federal Agency for Technical Relief), police, and other aid organizations compete against each other carrying at least ten kilograms of additional weight. The new Athlete Challenge This competition is aimed at club and competitive athletes who want to compete directly against other teams and clubs. Children, teenagers, and adults in various age groups will also be included.
 
All participants will receive a certificate in recognition of their achievement. The top three finishers in each category will also receive attractive prizes. In addition, every participant will receive a refreshment bag containing water, a granola bar, a banana, and dextrose for energy before or after the run. The event will be accompanied by a diverse program of activities around St. Andrew's Church. A warm-up session for participants will be offered in cooperation with the ELAN fitness studio. Food and drink options, a bouncy castle for children, and a raffle for all attendees will ensure that the event is worthwhile even beyond the race itself. Runners, families, friends, and all interested parties are warmly invited to experience the special atmosphere of the Andreasturm Challenge.
