CrossDeLuxe Freital 2026
Stronger together: KBB at the Corporate CrossDeLuxe
On Sunday 23 August 2026, twelve KBB employees, competing as "Schlammverdichter 2.6", took on a special challenge at the M4Energy Corporate CrossDeLuxe in Freital: they had to tackle a course of around eight kilometres, with 350 metres of altitude difference and numerous obstacles.
8 km with over 30 obstacles
This demanding course combined a sporting challenge with a unique team experience. In sunny weather, the participants tackled obstacles including the ‘Rabenauer Falls’, the ‘Black Hole’, ‘Mount Everstroh’, the ‘Uphill-Downhill Slalom’ and the spectacular ‘Höllenrausch’ slide. The focus was not only on stamina and skill, but above all on the joy of exercise and sharing the experience together.
Team spirit, solidarity and mutual support characterised the entire race. Many obstacles could only be overcome by joining forces. Team members lent each other a helping hand, spurred one another on and waited for one another. In this way, they mastered the course together and pushed beyond their personal limits.
The Finish Line
Particularly impressive was the Schlammverdichter 2.6 team’s united finish: eleven team members, who had completed the course together, crossed the finish line as a group after 1 hour and 36 minutes. In doing so, the team sent a clear message of solidarity in action.
There was also an outstanding sporting achievement: Thomas Pitschel from the Turbocharging Technology division completed the challenging course in 47 minutes and secured first place in the men’s category. KBB offers its warmest congratulations on this impressive performance.
Taking part in CrossDeLuxe demonstrated once again that shared sporting experiences strengthen team spirit and highlight the special team culture at KBB.
The "mud compactors" are already looking forward to the next edition of CrossDeLuxe in 2027.
