The DHL Relay Fun Run is usually teeming with AU running tops, and 2024 was no exception – last year, a total of 2,100 members of staff took part in the world’s largest fun run. If you’re ready for another fun and active day in your colleagues’ company, now is the time to start putting teams together in your department.

The dates and venues for the 2025 DHL Relay Fun Run are:

Aarhus: Thursday 21 August – read more and sign up 

Odense: Thursday 21 August – read more and sign up 

Copenhagen: Thursday 28 August – read more and sign up

The deadline for registration is 20 May 2025.

Walk or run five kilometres
Whether you want to outrun your boss, enjoy a gentle jog, take a leisurely stroll, or set a new record – it’s completely up to you! There’s room for every level of fitness (and ambition). You simply need to get together a team of five and sign up, and one of you needs to be the team captain.

Sign up for one of the following categories:

  • Relay race – women
  • Relay race – men
  • Relay race – mixed
  • Walk

All routes are five kilometres. In the relay race, the members of your team take turns running the route. If you are walking, you will all walk the route at the same time. After you finish your route, there will be food and drink and an opportunity to hang out with your colleagues in the AU tents.

New participants will receive running T-shirts
If you’ve participated in the DHL fun run before, you have already been issued an AU running T-shirt. You should use the same T-shirt every year. If this is your first time participating in the DHL fun run, your team captain can order one for you when they register your team. You can also order a new T-shirt if you’ve lost your old one or worn it out (though please bear in mind that we only have a limited number of T-shirts to give out).
