Wild & Dirty is a small, reduced-format team lap run for the Kleinen Helden, or “Little Heroes.” Instead of one large race, runners choose from three registration slots, each capped at 50 tickets on a first-come, first-served basis.
Teams require at least two members, though larger groups and solo runners are permitted. The course consists of short laps, approximately 500 meters each, allowing participants to run at their own pace, individually or with teammates, collect laps for their team and the Kleinen Helden, and rest as needed. Teams compete under their own names; matching outfits are encouraged, costumes are welcome, and the best-dressed team receives a special prize. The run was initially planned to conclude after seven editions, but organizers continued it to maintain focus on the children.
