Ready - Float - Go! (Auf die Flöße - Fertig - Los! in German) - this is how this enthusiastic article starts.
Beetzsee Race Track is a world famous location that hosted several rowing and kayaking world championships. In 2017, it hosted a raft race. 11th grade students of the local Von Saldern High-school organized a race of self-built floats.
The event was part of a "Management" class and the students did not only have to built their rafts, but organize the entire event from booking over ticketing to catering. A group of 25 students organized the race and 700 visitors obviously had a lot of fun attending it.
