The event also hosts the Höxter district forest running championships: club runners from the district are automatically entered into these championships for the 4.5 km race (U14/U16) and the 10 km race (U18 and older). Kilometer markers and aid stations are available on the course. Changing rooms, showers, parking, refreshments at the finish, certificates, and finisher medals for children are provided, typical of a smaller race.
