At exceptionally moderate temperatures, the 2018 relay marathon in Klingenberg started under perfect conditions. Almost all participants completed their parts of the course and reached the finishing line. The ? Guts Running Team? came out at the top and gained first place.
102 guest teams and 32 WIKA teams took part in the WIKA relay marathon, well-known and incredibly popular indeed right across the region. The subsidiaries fielded teams and individual runners from France, the UK, India, the center East, Poland, Russia and Spain. KSR and tecsis were also represented. The fastest WIKA male runner was Markus Heidl with a time of 20:28.4, and his fastest female WIKA counterpart, Nahed Nafez, recorded a time of 25:42.2.
At about 3 p.m., music from the band ?Querbeet? got the public into festive mood, followed by an open-air concert that evening from ?(d)ra(h)tlos? and ?B.L.O.N.D.? These bands delivered a rich sound and rounded off the festivities. The function was ably assisted once more this year by the neighborhood associations from Trennfurt, the voluntary fire brigades from Trennfurt and W�rth, the Bavarian Red Cross, THW Obernburg, together with by massage teams Kroth, Dworschak and Brunner and, not to be forgotten, by many volunteers from WIKA.
Everyone is already pumped up about the 2019 WIKA relay marathon.
