Unique conditions at the Nurburgring
Traditionally, there will be a 10-km course again, which is to be completed twice. No less traditional is the “agony of choice” by the organizers: What barriers create this time from a running track an unrelenting obstacle course? It is discussed in the runner community already on Facebook: Will there be the relentless “Alcatraz” again? How many will be fail on “Mount Doom” again, what new tortures await the bravest of runners from around the world? Each and every obstacle got what it takes, just like the regular parts of the course with their crisp ascents and descents, its icy water holes and muddy forest and meadow trails. The “Green Hell” calls their tribute in 2012 again and demands even from husky Fisherman’s Friend StrongmanRunners everything.
“The central location, a top infrastructure and the unique terrain at the Nürburgring have prompted us to repeat the run here. At the request of many participants, the event has also moved to a Saturday. This has the advantage that the runners and their entourage can visit the after-run party, have a relaxed trip home on Sunday or use the extensive leisure facilities at the Nürburgring.“ Explains the organization team of the Fisherman’s Friend StrongmanRun.
