European Students Run as part of NLB Ljubljana Marathon
Registration for European Students Run 2026 are open! The event will be held in Ljubljana, Slovenia on October 17-18, 2026.
The European Students Run bridges the gap between competitive university sports and grassroots physical activity. Following a successful pilot in 2025 that united students from 34 countries, the 2026 edition will offer three race categories for men and women: 10 km, 21 km, and 42 km.
"The European Students Run is a flagship example of how university sport can transcend traditional competition," said Haris Pavletic, EUSA President. "By partnering with a major public event like the Ljubljana Marathon, we are making university sport visible to the wider public and emphasizing that physical activity is a cornerstone of a healthy academic life."
Registrations are open for current students and recent graduates aged 18-30. Participants can verify their eligibility via the EUSA Portal to access subsidized entry fees and exclusive student benefits.
Beyond the race, an educational programme will accompany the event, bringing together experts, student mentors and students to discuss physical and mental health, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion within the academic community.
