DHL Relay Fun Run
DHL Relay Fun Run
With more than 200,000 participants in Denmark, DHL Relay is the world’s largest running event. The race consists of a 5x5 relay run or a walk, and 95% of the registered teams are company and organization teams.
DHL Relay brings us together around something different from our everyday work. It combines a run with a picnic in a festival-like atmosphere.
New participants receive running shirts
AU’s official running shirt is reused from year to year. Therefore, only participants who do not already have an AU running shirt need to order one. The team captain orders the running shirts when registering the team.
