In 2019 the ESB cycling tour for charity will be travelling over 1200km from Reutlingen to Spain, in order to raise money for two partner charities
What is it?
The Relay is a student initiative, started by students from the ESB Business School in Reutlingen, with a long tradition; 2019 will be the 16th year that the tour will be completed. The participants travel in around two weeks to a different destination each year. Everything is organised by the students; the route they will cycle, the acquisition of sponsors and the whole logistics of the tour.
Where does the tour go?
The end destination is always the International Business Weekend, better known as IBWE. The weekend includes all of the universities that are part of the double-degree, IPBS network (e.g. Lancaster, DCU, CESEM). Each university takes it in turn to host the event. For example, last year ESB hosted the event in Borkum, in Northern Germany. This year the ICADE university from Madrid is hosting the event, and they have decided that IBWE will take place in Majorca, from the 5-7th April 2019.
Who takes part?
30 students from the ESB Business School organise the tour and travel with 20 bikes and 5 accompanying vehicles to the destination. You can find out more about this year's team in the Meet The Squad section of the website (in German).
Why?
The aim of the tour is to raise as much money as possible for Integramus e.V. and the Förderverein für krebskranke Kinder Tübingen e.V. who have both been partners of the Relay since its inception. Last year over €44,000 was raised for the two charities and over €500,000 has been donated over the past 15 years, helping to give children a brighter future.
