ποΈ About Flusslauf:
Willkommen to Flusslauf! While the more appropriate name would be FlussΓΌberquerung, we folks from the States might struggle there. The Flusslauf Experience is an exciting adventure at our 7-mile (or 11-kilometer) run, ruck, or hike through the trees and roots of Bedford Reservation. Take on the trails with your fellow runners, conquer the river crossing (yes, you WILL get wet twice), and finish with a well-deserved beverage in our Biergarten after the run.
How big is the river crossing?
About 20 inches and only up to your knees!
