The organisers of the Lusatian Race Walking are committed to meet the "Athletic for a Better World" standards and to fulfilling the requirements of sustainability in the economic, social and environmental spheres.

»Lusatian Race Walking« is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the „Small Project Fund INTERREG Saxony – Czech Republic 2021-2027“ of the Neisse Euroregion.

The aim of the German-Czech cooperation is to bring together athletes from the tri-border area and beyond and thus set new impulses for encounters in the border region. In addition to their experiences, participants should take home many enriching memories on encounters with the „foreign“. Furthermore, the already existing partnership between the clubs will be strengthened with the organization of the »Lusatian Race Walking«.

Lead partner: O-SEE Sports e.V. // Cooperation partner: AC Rumburk, z.s.
