The European University Sports Association (EUSA) and the EUSA Institute are excited to invite students, as well as representatives of our members (National University Sports Associations - NUSAs), affiliated universities, volunteers, partners and supporters, to take part in a unique sporting experience: the European Students Run, taking place on October 18–19, 2025, in Ljubljana, Slovenia.

This special event is part of the renowned Ljubljana Marathon, one of the largest sporting gatherings in Slovenia. As part of the Runners4All - European Students Run project, co-funded by the European Union, the European Students Run will debut this year, offering special opportunity for students and recent graduates aged 18–30. In addition to welcoming student runners, we are encouraging the wider EUSA Family, partners and supporters to join us in the main marathon program.

Participants can choose from three distances: 10 km, 21 km (half marathon), or 42 km (full marathon).

The activities will take place over two days. On Saturday, October 18, 2025, participants will have a chance to attend a pre-event conference and collect their bib numbers. The following day, Sunday, October 19, 2025, the European Students Run will be held as part of the NLB 29th Ljubljana Marathon.

General registration for the Ljubljana Marathon remains open on the official event website: https://ljubljanskimaraton.si/en/. Standard participation fees apply for those registering directly. Project partners also have limited availability for discounted registrations for students; please see the list at the official project page if you come from any of the 15 partner countries. Members of the extended EUSA family and partners have also received a special invitation.
