Collecting kilometers for Aachen: The adh University Run on September 20, 2025

28/08/2025

The 6th adh University Run will take place on September 20, 2025 – just in time for International University Sports Day (IDUS). The run was launched in 2020 by the General German University Sports Association (adh) and has since become an integral part of IDUS.

Running for the university

The principle is simple: students, employees, and alumni of adh member universities lace up their running shoes and cover as many kilometers as possible within a set time window of 60 minutes. Participation is possible both individually and in a team spirit for your own university. Every kilometer run counts toward the university ranking, so joint commitment makes all the difference.

Special prizes

In addition to the overall ranking, there are also special awards: those who run the longest distance or climb the most meters in an hour have the chance to win attractive prizes and extras. It doesn't matter whether you use the full hour – even a short run contributes to collecting valuable kilometers for your university.

Registration

Registration for the adh university run takes place directly via the adh website. There, interested parties will also find all further information about the procedure, conditions of participation, and scoring.

The 2025 adh University Run offers the perfect opportunity to get active, collect kilometers for your own university together with fellow students, colleagues, and alumni, and set an example for exercise, community, and health.
