The Sägerserie is a three-race cross-country running series in Berlin and Brandenburg, described by its organizers as the region's most challenging cross series. Participants can register for individual races or the entire series, with distances increasing throughout, starting at 3.85 km and reaching 19.25 km.
The 3rd Lauf marks the conclusion of this progression, positioning it as a demanding event rather than a relaxed, independent run. The field is intentionally limited; according to the source, only a select few runners attempt it, and those who finish the series are awarded the title “Säger,” or “Sawyer.”
