DLV secures Barmer extension

The German Athletics Federation (DLV) has extended its partnership with domestic health insurance provider Barmer GEK until the end of 2016.

Under the deal, the two bodies, which first linked up in 2012, will continue to work together to help encourage more people to adopt an active and healthier lifestyle.

The DLV will continue to promote Barmer and the joint health initiative during its various events, including the German Athletics Championship.

In addition, the initiative will be promoted on specialist running website Laufen.de by the DLV’s marketing agency, German Athletics Marketing.
