"It is always astonishing to see how many people can be motivated to run for a common goal," says Wibner. Many runners are also regular at these events, which shows how much this tradition is rooted in the community.

The helpers support the runners on the go while spectators cheer them on. The overall atmosphere is characterized by connection and joy, which makes the efforts even more beautiful.
