The RUN5 Teamstaffel Lübeck is a company relay race held in Lübeck each June. It follows a 5-by-5 structure: five runners per team, each completing a 5-kilometer segment. This event is part of the RUN5 series, which also includes races in Hamburg and Wiesbaden. Its primary audience consists of companies, office teams, and groups, rather than individual competitors focused on personal bests.
The courses are designed to be accessible for teams with varying skill levels, allowing beginners to participate alongside experienced runners without the distance posing an insurmountable challenge. The baton serves as the race’s symbol of collaboration. The event is presented as an opportunity for colleagues to step away from their work, engage in physical activity together, and transform workplace wellness initiatives into a communal experience. The Hamburg race originated from the former MOPO Team-Staffellauf, and RUN5 builds upon this foundation to expand its company relay series throughout Germany.
