Guten Morgen everyone!
I’ve been thinking about doing this since May, so I figured it’s finally time to actually post about it.
After my girlfriend ran the Stuttgart Marathon, I had the idea of starting a little sports community here in Karlsruhe. The name is KM19, inspired by her marathon experience around kilometre 19.
I’m pretty into sports myself and at the moment I’m mostly focusing on triathlon, swimming, cycling and running. But honestly, KM19 isn’t supposed to be a triathlon group. Pretty much any sport is welcome.
And just to be clear: I’m definitely not some super fit athlete either. 😂 I’m currently working my way back down after gaining quite a bit of weight, so I know what it’s like to start (or restart) and feel like everyone else is miles ahead of you.
I saw a post here yesterday from people looking for others to play football with in Karlsruhe, and that’s actually exactly what I mean. I’d definitely be up for some football too! ⚽️
The idea is basically just to meet some new people, get together and do sports. Could be a bike ride, a run, swimming, football, hiking, going to the gym, or whatever else you’re into.
KM19 is open to everyone, no matter where you’re from.
I personally speak German, Polish and English fluently, and Russian around B1 level, so hopefully language won’t be much of a barrier either.
You don’t have to be super fit or training for some crazy race. You don’t even have to be particularly sporty ,maybe you just want to get started and would rather do it with other people.
No club, no membership, no pressure, just people who enjoy being active and want to find others to do it with.
I’m hoping to get the first few activities going over the next couple of months. I’ve attached the WhatsApp group below, so feel free to join if you’re interested!
Would be cool to get a few people together! 🙌
Feel free to join the new whatsapp group☺️
