Stralsunder Hochschullauf 2026

The Stralsunder Hochschullauf begins at the Mensavorplatz at the University of Stralsund, with the race office located in the Mensa prior to the start. This university sports event is organized by Hochschulsportgemeinschaft Stralsund e.V., with Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wolfgang Schikorr serving as event leader. Participants can select from 10 miles, 8 km, 3 km, or 1 km distances, while walkers have 8 km and 3 km options. This variety accommodates competitive runners, casual participants, and those preferring shorter distances. The course leads runners along the water through Parow and Damitz towards Klausdorf, before returning to Stralsund. The event boasts three decades of history, consistently supported by the university, and its most recent running achieved record participation. Many runners visit Stralsund annually as this race offers the last opportunity to earn crucial points in the Laufcup standings. The field is diverse, including athletes, recreational runners, university staff, and local personalities, all participating in the same event. Notably, the university rector completed the 10-mile course.
