It is unfortunately not possible to get a refund of the participation fee.
All of those who want to take part in the Chair Challenge only have to mark the corresponding field when registering (Registration for the Chair Challenge) and specify the name of the chair.
It makes no difference whether you are the head of the chair, work for the chair, or are writing your thesis there. The main thing is that you agree as a chair and register under the identic chair name. Please pay attention to the correct and identic spelling of the chair (e.g. Lehrstuhl für elektrische Energiespeichertechnik) for each team member, otherwise we may not be able to assign you to your teams.
It is important that the chair team is composed of a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 9 runners. If more than 9 runners register for a chair, we will automatically split them up before the race according to the time of their registration (chair name 1, chair name 2, etc.). The times of the five fastest runners within a (sub)chair will be added to determine the winning time for the fastest chair (it may therefore be important which team you are assigned to). Of course, all runners of the winning chair will be invited to the award ceremony.
For larger teams, this means: Before you sign up, consider which runners have the best chance of winning a top spot and register accordingly.

Additional to the Chair Challenge, there will also be a Male and a Female Professor Challenge which was established in 2017.
To participate, you only need to select the right type of participant at the beginning of the registration (either male or female professor) and then mark the corresponding field (Participation in the Male or Female Professor Challenge).
All professors can take part in the Professor Challenge as well as in the Chair Challenge. Please do not forget to state your title when registering, so that we can assign you clearly.

- students of TUM in general (from all field of studies)
- student organisations/initiatives/council of TUM (IKOM, WARR, TUfast, Junge Akademie etc.) and/or
