Events

Once across the university's daily routine: The route of the Campus Run went past offices, dormitories, institutes and through the forest - across the entire Vaihingen campus. A total of 880 students and employees of the university took part in the 6 or 12 kilometre run. About 300 of them chose the longer distance. For the 6km runners the round was unique, the 12km runners were allowed to run the round twice. Melanie Haag, head of University Sports, who organized the Campus Run together with the partner Techniker Krankenkasse, was also visibly satisfied: "We are all very pleased that we are able to achieve a continuous increase in the number of participants every year".

The fastest runner over 12 kilometres was - as in the previous year - Joachim Krauth with a time of 39:02 minutes. In the women's race, Anja Elser took the first place with a time of 49:15 minutes. Jessica Wunschmann won the women's race over six kilometres with a time of 24:37 minutes and Sven Zabel won the men's race with 20:38 minutes. 

Chancellor Jan Gerken, who had called the university staff to participate in the running event before, also set a good example and managed the 6-kilometer distance through the university campus. Dr. Simone Rehm, CIO in the rectorate even completed the 12 kilometres.

But not only the individual runners were evaluated, there was also a team evaluation. The three best times of each team were combined into one team after the run. In addition, the largest team also received a prize at the award ceremony.  

In 2014, we launched the Campus Run, which is offered on the Vaihingen campus for students and employees of the University of Stuttgart, but also for external guests. After the successful premiere and a short break from running, the Run was relaunched in 2017 with our health partner Techniker Krankenkasse. Since then the TK Campus Run takes place once a year on and around the Campus Vaihingen.
