Once again, Aarhus University was well represented at Denmark’s biggest fitness run – the DHL Relay Race. 370 teams participated in Aarhus, while AU employees in Odense and Copenhagen formed six teams in each city.

In keeping with tradition, Mindeparken provided a beautiful green setting for the relay race in Aarhus, and the 1,850 AU employees who participated could enjoy nice weather for exercising and lots of time for having fun with their colleagues.

About the DHL Relay Race

With almost 200,000 participants in several cities in Denmark, the DHL Relay Race is the world’s biggest fitness run. Participants can either participate in a 5 x 5 km relay race or a 5 km walk, and 95% of participants are teams from companies or associations.
