Flame relay in the run-up to the FISU World University Games

The flame will be passed on every 300 metres or so along the approximately six-kilometre route through the city. Each Erfurt university will provide two to three torch runners for the short stages, as well as accompanying runners who will complete the entire route. The runners will start at 4 p.m. in front of the library on campus of the University of Erfurt in the direction of the town hall, where Lord Mayor Andreas Horn will join the torch relay team at 4:30 p.m. A photo call is planned here, to which representatives of the press are cordially invited. The runners will then continue to the HMU am Anger, the iba, the IU and the Erfurt University of Applied Sciences. After the flame arrives at the university, there will be a runners' party with all participants at around 6 p.m., marking the end of the event.
