Stadtwerke Weilheim i.OB Kommunalunternehmen, Musikhaus Wiedemann Weilheim, Kneipp Verein Weilheim-Pfaffenwinkel e.V. and K&L GmbH & Co. Handels KG currently form the Freizeit- und Breitensport-Initiative (FUBSI). We would like to welcome all athletes and guests to our second event, the one in Weilheim! In addition to the New Year’s Eve run, we also want to make the Zipflbob race a Weilheim institution. Our aim is to get everyone who enjoys snow sports excited about a great tobogganing competition. We hope that anyone who has ever taken part will not only know about the beautiful toboggan run but also about the enthusiasm of the spectators. The numerous and tireless helpers, the sponsors and many lugers are already looking forward to a sporty Luge Sunday 2019. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved – whether as an active participant or spectator – for their participation! We are sure that the 1st FUBSI-Zipflbob race will be an unforgettable experience.

After the FUBSi organizing committee unfortunately had to cancel the Zipflbob race 2018 due to weather conditions, we are starting a new attempt with the 1st Zipflbob race on 06.01.2019. The meeting point for all tobogganing enthusiasts is on 06.01.2019 from 12 noon at the Gögerl, provided the weather conditions allow it, i.e. frost is a must. If necessary, the FUBSIs will make the snow themselves.

Anyone can take part, participation is free of charge. Registration takes place online at www.sog-events.de by 06.01.2019 12.00 or at Gögerl in the finish area below on 06.01.2019 from 10.00 to 12.00. The distribution of start numbers – divided into children, young people and adults – will take place between 12.00 and 13.00. A good mood is desirable, a helmet is necessary, as helmets are compulsory. If you have a Zipflbob or toboggan, bring it with you. If you don’t have one, you can buy a Zipflbob at the start for 25 euros; while stocks last. The co-organizer, Stadtwerke Weilheim, is selling 50 Zipflbobs. They will donate the total amount, which would be 1,250 euros, to a social institution.

The tobogganing competition starts at 13:00. There are several classes, graded according to age – children 4-12 years; teenagers 13-17 years and adults as well as male and female. Medals will be awarded to places 1-3. As with the FUBSI Silvesterlauf, the professional sports organizer Sog-Events will again be responsible for timekeeping. Everyone is responsible for their own food and drink; hot tea will be provided by the FUBSI team, as unfortunately the Gögerlwirtschaft is still closed .

For the fun of it and to set a recreational sporting accent at , the FUBSI organizing team sends the Zipflbob race to the starting line. “If it goes down well, we want to hold it again next year,” say the FUBSI organizers. FUBSI stands for “Freizeit- und Breitensportinitiative” and tobogganing is simply a popular sport.

“In terms of the weather, there are three scenarios: 1. there are no sub-zero temperatures, then the Zipflbob race is canceled; 2. there are sub-zero temperatures but no or too little snow, then the FUBSIs snow up; 3. there are sub-zero temperatures and sufficient natural snow, then everything is fine. If snow has to be produced technically, this is done at the top of the slope. The snow is sprayed with a snow lance, distributed manually on the slope and trampled down with skis. After the start numbers have been handed out in the valley, you first walk up to the start, to warm up, so to speak. And then back down one by one during the race. It’s all about normal tobogganing fun, just like it usually takes place on the Gögerl,” emphasize the FUBSI organizers. Everything is planned so far. Now all that remains is to hope that the temperatures are in line with the season. So for now, the excitement and anticipation remain intact.

On January 6th (Epiphany) the premiere of the “FUBSI ZIPFLBOBRENNEN” will take place in Weilheim OBB. at the Gögerl. Provided there is enough snow, of course.

Anyone can take part, whether young, old, sporty or someone who just wants to have fun on this tobogganing experience. The only condition: Helmet compulsory!
