On a record course through the Alps: Dr. Magdalena Kalus and Susi Lehmann take on the Via Alpina

June 5, 2025

Dr. Magdalena Kalus, an employee of the FORUM Group, and her team colleague Susi Lehmann will be taking on an extraordinary sporting challenge from 1 July 2025: the two are planning to set a Fastest Known Time (FKT) for women on the legendary Via Alpina for the first time. The route covers more than 2,000 kilometers, 120,000 vertical meters and passes through eight Alpine countries - and is considered one of the most demanding long-distance routes in Europe.

As passionate endurance athletes, Magdalena and Susi not only want to exceed their personal limits, but also set a new benchmark in alpine running. They are actively supported by the FORUM Group, which is committed to promoting excellence and offers its employees the freedom to achieve extraordinary goals.

FORUM supports Magdalena and her teammate Susi Lehmann on their journey so that they can concentrate fully on the sporting challenge.
