The exciting event with large supporting programme has attracted up to 20,000 spectators each year, and was broadcast live on both national and international television. It is one of the only venues where fans are within such close reach to the world´s best athletes in this discipline. It is here where several Olympic, world champions and World Cup winners gathered for a unique tournament, and top athletes such as Kati Wilhelm and Michael Greis even completed their farewell race.
