The heat is on

The exchange zone is probably the most spectacular and vibrant spot at the Berliner Wasserbetriebe 5 x 5K TEAM-Relay Berlin in Tiergarten park. This is where maximum motivation and exhaustion, pure relief and anticipation are directly confronted.

The search for the next team partner is not always a piece of cake — unless you have a clearly recognisable change symbol and a loud voice. It is always entertaining!
