Company run Saarbrücken

Registration deadline is Sunday, May 18, 2025

There are always 3 participants competing as one team, whereby each team can choose its own name (possibly the name of the institution or the chair), which will then be taken into account in the registration.  In both cases, please make sure that the namecontains the word "Uni" Women-only teams, men-only teams, and mixed teams may be entered. Individuals will be combined with other individual entries to form teams.

After the registration deadline, all important information regarding the race will be sent by e-mail to the e-mail addresses indicated in the registration form. Please be sure to include the e-mail addresses on the entry form. Unfortunately, late registrations are not possible.

Participation in the company run is free of charge for runners. The university pays the registration fee. One euro of the entry fee of all runners will be donated to charitable aid projects.

If enough people are interested, the university would like to put together a fast women's team, a fast men's team and a fast mixed team. Therefore, we ask all ambitious runners who would be willing to support the university in this endeavor to register as individuals and enter their approximate 5K time so that we can put together the fast teams based on their running times. Maybe we can make it to the podium with one or more teams.

The route is exactly 5 km. From the start at the Staatstheater, the route runs along Mainzer Straße in the direction of Ostspange. At kilometer 2.5, near the power station, you will reach the refreshment point where you can refresh yourself with water. The running course continues along Bismarckstaße with a view of the Saar back towards the Staatstheater. A great atmosphere awaits you on the last kilometer: you will be cheered to the finish line by numerous spectators on the banks of the Saar and across the St. Johanner Markt. The running course is flat and asphalted throughout. All sections of the route are accessible and therefore also suitable for participants with disabilities.
Here you can find the approximate route.

The university will provide all runners with a T-shirt for the company run so that we can start as ONE big team. It would be great if as many runners as possible wore the shirt during the race.

Starting numbers and running shirts will be issued on the following dates:
