Due to the expected high demand, as always: Be quick and secure your starting places early!
Something for every fitness level
You can compete individually, in tandem or in a relay with three to five members.
The relay is a great way for sporty people to get into firefighting. Team spirit is required here and the cheers are loud. The breathing apparatus is worn "loosely" on the back - there is no mask or breathing air connection.
The individual run is regarded as the supreme discipline because it really demands everything from the starter while wearing breathing protection. (Picture Source: Hanno Meier)
