Sports

While the month of May brings flowers, Maypoles and barbecues, for the
last 28 years it has also been recognized as National Physical Fitness
and Sports Month.

Every running enthusiast has a specific regimen for becoming a better
runner.

Hauenstein, a small village about 50 minutes south of Kaiserslautern, is
all about feet. Here, they make shoes, sell shoes, export shoes, and
their museum tells the history of shoes.

By participating in outdoor and sport activities one can form close
cross-cultural friendships because language competence plays a less
important role. In January, American Dana Kitchin visited for the first
time an interest group of the GAIWC and based on her hobby of running,
immediately connected privately with two German club members. The women
now train together regularly, and recently took on the Rockie Mountain
Donnersberg Run on March 26 successfully.

Spring has arrived! Well maybe not officially, but the early racing season is certainly in full swing in Germany.
