It begins in the morning, requires a small entry fee, and features a 3,000-meter race starting late in the morning. The atmosphere is that of a local club race: practical, accessible, and closely connected to the city’s athletics community. The event is also part of the Sparkassen Lauf und Walking Cup, attracting runners and walkers accumulating points in the regional series. It serves as a Deutsches Sportabzeichen day, accounting for the specific reminder for participants to bring current swimming proof.
