R5K Tour does its part to find<br />
talent and develop it towards<br />
top-level sport. We don’t have<br />
many problems in road running<br />
at the moment compared to other<br />
athletics disciplines, but we<br />
have to make sure that it continues<br />
when the current strong<br />
athletes like German marathon<br />
record holder Amanal Petros,<br />
European marathon champion<br />
Richard Ringer or our fast marathon<br />
runners who won team<br />
gold at the 2022 European<br />
Championships in Munich are<br />
no longer running some day.”<br />
More races in 2024<br />
That’s why more races are to<br />
be added to the series next<br />
year. “We started the R5K Tour<br />
together to bring together the<br />
most talented young people<br />
from athletics clubs, but also<br />
to identify those who are fast<br />
but without any ties to organised<br />
athletics, in professionally<br />
organised road races in<br />
front of a large audience. After<br />
the successful start of the series<br />
this year, we are planning<br />
a continuation together for<br />
2024,” says Jürgen Lock, who<br />
Tristan Kaufhold won the<br />
overall men’s ranking in<br />
the U20 class. He will use<br />
his training camp grant<br />
for a stay in South Africa<br />
next year.
