World University Games
The path of the torch: The campus route is set!
The route of the Flame Relay for the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games has been officially announced - so fans and interested spectators now know exactly where they can cheer on the runners on Thursday (8 May) at 4 pm. One of the most symbolic stops: the forum in front of the Audimax.
The torch relay on the occasion of the Rhine-Ruhr 2025 FISU World University Games will be a special highlight at Ruhr-Universität Bochum: on 8 May 2025, a total of 15 selected runners - all of them personalities who have had a lasting impact on RUB and sport on campus - will carry the official torch of the FISU World University Games across the campus.
The starting point is at 4 pm at the bridge to the ‘Ruhr-Universität Bochum’ stop. From there, the route runs through the heart of the university: The route leads around the university library, past Q-West to the last building of the G-row - and back towards the Audimax. The Audimax forum is passed several times, making it an ideal meeting point for spectators who want to cheer on the torchbearers or capture this special moment on camera. The flame will finally be ceremoniously received at the Rote Bete by the Rectorate of the Ruhr-Universität.
Spectators are more than welcome to experience this unique event live at the side of the track and set an example for international student sport together.
