Team hep takes on CHALLENGE Heilbronn

Thursday 16 May 2019
The hep CHALLENGE HEILBRONN powered by Audi and its Güglinger title sponsor used a press conference to inform about the latest news. Hep introduced its current hep Sports Team, a team of selected endurance athletes, to support hep as its main sponsor.

As members of the team, Sebastian Kienle, Laura Philipp and Arne Gabius were interviewed by hep co-founder Christian Hamann. Common denominator of all was the desire to do positive activities for our planet earth. As a professional triathlete, whose life with many trips is not necessarily the most climate-friendly, glad to have a sponsor to deal with this topic.

The three athletes and the other team members Maurice Clavel and Boris Stein will be on the starting line of the hep CHALLENGE HEILBRONN powered by Audi on 19th of May, organizer Kai Sauser was delighted with the positive news. Among the men surely also the new local hero and Schwaigerner Florian Angert and Andreas Dreitz belong to the absolute top athletes. Defending champion Daniela Bleymehl can compete in the elite women’s field with Laura Philipp.
