On Thursday, 3 September 2026, it’s time once again: Ready, set, go!

The DAK Company Run Cottbus invites you to an unforgettable running event in the heart of our city – and, of course, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg will once again be taking part with a team open to all members of the BTU community. The 4.5 km route follows the green banks of the River Spree, passing the Spreewehrmühle and taking runners through the picturesque surroundings of Cottbus – making it ideal for less experienced runners, too. Walking or brisk walking is also very welcome. The run starts at 6:00 p.m. in Puschkinpark.

Our BTU team will meet from 4:30 p.m. at the blue BTU pavilion. There, you will receive your race number, get ready together, join the team photo at 5:30 p.m., and take part in a group warm-up.

Registration for the DAK Company Run

If you would like to take part as a member of the BTU team, you can register now at university sports programme. The registration deadline is Friday, 28 August 2026.

We will register you for the run and cover the participation fee. To complete your registration, we need your first and last name, year of birth, and T-shirt size (while stocks last, and only if you do not already have a BTU running shirt).

If you register but are subsequently unable to take part and cannot find someone to take your place, please note that the €23 registration fee must be reimbursed to BTU.

Join us – whether you’re running, cheering, or supporting the team! Everyone who is not running is also warmly invited to come along and cheer on our team with clappers, horns, and plenty of enthusiasm.
