It is a local series, with each round approximately 9 to 10 kilometers long. The main meeting point is the forest car park by Kathreinerstrasse and Brennhölzerweg in Augsburg-Bergheim. TG Viktoria Augsburg organizes the series with support from AOK-Gesundheitskasse. The format has been running since 1978, when the first event had 83 starters, all men. The order has stayed mostly the same: the series opens with the 9.0 km Südring-Lauf and Hermann-Böving memorial race, where Augsburg's forest-run city champions are also decided.

The Viktoria-Cross moves off the firm forest paths and onto rougher ground over 9.6 km, before the 9.3 km Weihnachtslauf concludes the series around the Rentnerhütte. Awards are held outdoors near Schloss Wellenburg. Fields now usually range between 200 and 300 runners per race.

Lauf am Weißen Kreuz is an Oettingen running event in the Jedermannlaufserie, starting and finishing at the Sportgelände Weißes Kreuz. Participants can select from a 10.1 km main race, an approximately 3 km short race, and a 6 km walking route, accommodating club runners, casual runners, and walkers. The relocation to the sports ground provides proper changing and sanitary facilities at the sports home, unlike the previous Roßfeld setup near the hospital. The course replaced the former Jedermannslauf over the Roßfeld, a popular but hillier route that organizers relinquished with hesitation. Heavy rain necessitated a late alteration to the planned new route, omitting waterlogged sections for a runnable variant. Approximately 400 starters participated in the first edition across the three routes, predominantly in the main race, with temperatures just above freezing at the start. Tobias Gröbel of LG Zusam won the 10.1 km race in 33:59, followed by TSV Oettingen triathlete Timo Schmitz in 36:10.

Registration can close before race day, with the Bambini run being the only category still accepting on-site entries according to the listed information.

The competition is brisk for a local year-end race, with listed winning times including 29:41 for the men's main race and 35:39 for the women's main race. Young runners are well-represented, with youth and pupil winners recorded distinctly rather than as an afterthought.
