CHALLENGE Run 2024

Challenge Run
Get ready for a day of fun and fitness at the Challenge Run! Held on the scenic Hönggerberg, this obstacle course offers something for everyone—whether you’re competing seriously or just here for fun. Every participant will receive a goodie bag full of treats and surprises, making sure noone leaves empty-handed.

Qualifier Run
The fastest 4 of each Qualifier Run will earn a coveted spot in The Challenge Ski Weekend in march, where the main prize awaits!
Important: Only ETH Bachelor-students with a Legi number starting with "23" (23-XXX-XXX) or lower are eligible for the Qualifier Run, as Challenge is not open to first year Bachelor students. However, all ETH master students, regardless of which semester, are eligible to participate. Make sure you meet the requirements before signing up!
TIP: The first qualification rounds (Male Qualifier 1 & Female Qualifier 1) are usually less popular, which means better chances to qualify.

Fun Run
If you're more about having fun and enjoying the atmosphere, the Fun Run is the perfect option for you! This race is all about taking part in the experience, enjoying the obstacles, and competing for exciting prizes, such as the sought-after Polyball tickets.
You can sign up for the Fun Run in two ways:
• Individual Race: Test your own skills as you take on the obstacle course solo, competing against others for a shot at great prizes.
• Team Race (New!): For the first time, we’re introducing a Team Race in the Fun Run! Gather your friends and form a team of 3 (with at least one woman per team) and compete together in a relay-style race. Join your forces and if your team wins, you’ll soon be dancing together at Polyball!
Only one person from each team has to sign up!
