It’s always easy to spot the AU running tops at the DHL Relay Fun Run, and 2025 was no exception – last year, a total of 2215 members of staff took part in the world’s largest fun run.

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! You’re sure to find an event that suits your 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 fun run
- Walk
All routes are five kilometres. In the relay fun run, 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. But please note that we only have a limited number of T-shirts to give out.
