The point is what gets it done. Physical activity combined with active community involvement creates benefits on both sides - for themselves and their fellow human beings.

"We want to do good together," Shakeel Ahmad Umar explained with near-modesty at the sports facility Rennwiese on Saturday afternoon.

Charity Walks have been organized nationwide by the Ahmadiyya community since 2007.

Over the weekend there were eight charity runs nationwide from Worms to Freising over the two days.

Nearly 100 runners were at the start in the Rennwiese stadium in Reutlingen on Saturday. There will be even more in the coming years in Achalmstadt, it is hoped.

Involvement of this faith community found not only in stadiums, but also in tree planting, city cleaning campaigns or social dialogue projects.

Three organizations were very particularly pleased on Saturday about the commitment of the Ahmadiyya community and the participants who ran up a total of 1760 euros.

The Friends of Refugees Ohmenhausen received 1000 euros in the presence of Mayor Robert Hahn and District Mayor Heide Schnitzer.

500 euros went to the theater Patati-Patata and 260 euros to the organization Humanity First Germany.
