TUM Campus Run

When and how?

15.05.2024 - start at 5 pm at the TUM Campus Garching and virtual around the whole world!

  • The participants of the presence run in Garching take part in a total of 13 different classifications.
  • This year we once again have two special categories for you: the most creative running outfit for individual runners and as a team! Both in the spirit of this year's motto "running global".
  • Unable to attend on site on 15.05.? No problem! Run in the #virtualTUMrun, you are free to choose where. The running performance must be completed in the time frame from 14.05 / 4 pm to 15.05 / 4 pm. The upload of the proof must be completed by 4 pm on 15.05 at the latest. The portal is then closed. You are welcome also to send an additional image of yourself.
  • We will again provide you with water and fruit in the start and finish area and refreshments at around the halfway point of the 11km route.
  • Further information on the additional categories and the virtual Campus Run will be available soon.

The short course of 5.5 km leads the runners across the central campus in Garching as well as to the north of the campusthe 11 km course leads through Dietersheim and a bit beyond.

The start and finish zone will be between the LRZ and the Math/Info building.

The registration for the 10th TUM Campusrun in Garching is already closed.

You can still register for the 4th virtual TUM Campusrun until May 14, 2024.

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.

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 them.

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; this simplifies the verification process for the organiser.

It is important that the chair team is composed of a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 9 runners. If larger teams (more than 9 runners) register, 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 together 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.

To participate, you only need to mark the corresponding field when registering (Participation in the Chair Chellenge) and register the name of the chair. Make sure that everyone in your team spells the chair name exactly the same, otherwise we may not be able to assign you to your teams.

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.

All teams with at least 5 participants consisting of

  • students of TUM in general (from all field of studies)
  • student organisations/initiatives/council of TUM (IKOM, WARR, TUfast, Junge Akademie etc.) and/or
  • employees from the administration and facilities (library, management, International Center, hotline, faculty administration etc.)

It is important that the team is composed of a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 9 runners. If larger teams (more than 9 runners) register, we will automatically split them up before the race according to the time of their registration (team name 1, team name 2, etc.). The times of the five fastest runners within a (sub)team will be added together to determine the winning time for the fastest teams (it may therefore be important which team you are assigned to). Of course, all runners of the winning team will be invited to the award ceremony.

All other TUM students or alumni can form a team of at least five participants (e.g. student council teams, residence teams or just a diverse team).

It is important that the team is composed of a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 9 runners.
