Presentation (german) by extreme athlete and university professor Kurt Matzler on mental challenges and physical rigors of the Race Across America.

In June 2022, Kurt Matzler competed in the longest and toughest bike race in the world. In 11 days, 6 hours and 45 minutes he mastered the 4,880 km and over 30,000hm across the USA.

With his Rotary Raams Polio team, Kurt Matzler not only finished 6th in this race, but also raised over a million dollars in donations for polio eradication. Program: 7 p.m. Welcome by Marius Eccel (Daunenstep, sponsor RAM). 19:15 Lecture by Kurt Matzler, followed by questions and discussion Drinks with culinary delights created by star chef Stephan Zippl and music.
