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 ?WIKA Running Team? arrived on top and gained first place.
102 guest teams and 32 WIKA teams took part in the WIKA relay marathon, well-known and very popular indeed right over the region. The subsidiaries fielded teams and individual runners from France, the UK, India, the Middle East, Poland, Russia and Spain. KSR and tecsis were also represented. The fastest WIKA male runner was Markus Heidl with a period 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 general public into festive mood, accompanied 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 event 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, and also by massage teams Kroth, Dworschak and Brunner and, not to be forgotten, by many volunteers from WIKA.
Everyone is already looking forward to the 2019 WIKA relay marathon.
