On May 30th, the HafenCity Run 2026 took place, and TU Hamburg was once again represented with great sporting enthusiasm and a large running team of 180 runners, including many alumni! The HafenCity Run annually combines sport, team spirit, and charity into one event. Northern Germany’s largest corporate and charity run led participants through the modern waterfront districts of Hamburg’s HafenCity. Participants had the opportunity to complete the course without any pressure to perform or timekeeping.
Included in the entry fee (€25 for alumni and guests, and €15 for students) was a donation of €5 per person and €10 per team to the charity “Hamburger Abendblatt hilft e.V.” and the initiative “Kinder helfen Kindern”. The Alumni Association and the "Stiftung zur Förderung der TU Hamburg" (the Foundation for the Promotion of TU Hamburg) support the run.
