The project “Nestlé Austria Schulläufe” was launched in 2000 to promote physical activity in young people, in this case, running. Students aged 6 to 19 years join this sporting event supported by Nestlé Austria and Nestlé provides a breakfast-party for the school with the most participants in each of the 9 Federal States of Austria. Besides a healthy breakfast offered to the children, the Nestlé nutritionist gives a small lecture on healthy eating and organizes a quiz-game during the event.

Nestlé Austria is also one of the main sponsors of “Athletics light”, an initiative of the Viennese School Authority to promote physical activity in young people.
