As four teams of staff and students lined up to get their University of Copenhagen DHL medals and trophies, the talk among participants was all about times and how to defend titles come next year. <\/p>\n<p>The University of Copenhagen fielded 2160 participants and 428 teams at this year\u2019s DHL relay. All competing for their department\u2019s bragging rights. The DHL relay is considered the largest fun-run in Northern-Europe, some say the world, with 100,000 participants over five days.<\/p>\n<p>Even university director J\u00f8rgen Honor\u00e9, awarding the medals at the ceremony, got caught up in it, as he  commented positively on the new bright green University of Copenhagen running T-shirts.<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"node\/12082\">pictures from the DHL ceremony 2011 here.<\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>Gets people together, and healthy too<\/h2>\n<p>He himself is a runner, and took part in the DHL, and \u00bbI had this T-shirt on this morning, on my run, as I try to keep up with you guys\u00ab.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe, in management, support the University of Copenhagen taking part in this event in a big way, also by running at the back of the University of Copenhagen field,\u00ab he joked, referring to the management team\u2019s own performance at the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbHere is something that gets staff together, and is healthy, at the same time,\u00ab J\u00f8rgen Honor\u00e9 said.<\/p>\n<h2>No room for complacency<\/h2>\n<p>Chembio 1 from the Institute of Medicinal Chemistry was the hottest topic of the day, getting awards for the titles of \u2018Fastest Men\u2019s Team\u2019 and \u2018Fastest Overall Team\u2019 with a winning time of 1:37 for the five times five kilometres. Teammates Niels Gr\u00f8n N\u00f8rager, Klaus Bertram Nissen, Jonas Nil Eildal and Theis Wilbek were clearly delighted to receive their medals (see photo gallery).<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"node\/11491\">a post-race interview with one of the team members here.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>They need not be complacent however. Fastest mixed team, the Systems Biology team of the Institute of Biomedicine, was only one minute behind in 1:38.<\/p>\n<p>Fastest women\u2019s team was Chip 1, otherwise known as Copenhagen HIV Programme\/ISIM, and they were no slouches either. They raced past through the finish in 2:06, (an average of just over 25 minutes, we did the math\u2026)<\/p>\n<h2>Big surprise<\/h2>\n<p>Big surprise for some, but maybe not for insiders and DHL relay analysts, was the University Post team. Our team now holds the trophy of \u2018Central administration\u2019s Fastest\u2019 and will hold the trophy proudly until next year.<\/p>\n<p>University director J\u00f8rgen Honor\u00e9 was quick to grasp the symbolism of the international team of the University Post outsprinting the newspaper\u2019s Danish section Universitetsavisen.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbAm I to understand that this is the international section University Post that has beaten the Danish section?\u00ab, he asked.<\/p>\n<h2>A promise<\/h2>\n<p>When this was confirmed by an eager University Post team, J\u00f8rgen Honor\u00e9 responded:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe \u2018Universitetsavisen\u2019 has always been on their toes. Now this is my promise. If they are just as sharp as the University Post next year, I will make sure that they get their own trophy too\u2026\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>Uni-avis@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay in the know about news and

The DHL relay is considered the largest fun-run in Northern-Europe, some say the world, with 100,000 participants over five days.<\/p>\n<p>Even university director J\u00f8rgen Honor\u00e9, awarding the medals at the ceremony, got caught up in it, as he  commented positively on the new bright green University of Copenhagen running T-shirts.<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"node\/12082\">pictures from the DHL ceremony 2011 here.<\/a> <\/p>\n<h2>Gets people together, and healthy too<\/h2>\n<p>He himself is a runner, and took part in the DHL, and \u00bbI had this T-shirt on this morning, on my run, as I try to keep up with you guys\u00ab.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbWe, in management, support the University of Copenhagen taking part in this event in a big way, also by running at the back of the University of Copenhagen field,\u00ab he joked, referring to the management team\u2019s own performance at the event.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbHere is something that gets staff together, and is healthy, at the same time,\u00ab J\u00f8rgen Honor\u00e9 said.<\/p>\n<h2>No room for complacency<\/h2>\n<p>Chembio 1 from the Institute of Medicinal Chemistry was the hottest topic of the day, getting awards for the titles of \u2018Fastest Men\u2019s Team\u2019 and \u2018Fastest Overall Team\u2019 with a winning time of 1:37 for the five times five kilometres. Teammates Niels Gr\u00f8n N\u00f8rager, Klaus Bertram Nissen, Jonas Nil Eildal and Theis Wilbek were clearly delighted to receive their medals (see photo gallery).<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"node\/11491\">a post-race interview with one of the team members here.<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>They need not be complacent however. Fastest mixed team, the Systems Biology team of the Institute of Biomedicine, was only one minute behind in 1:38.<\/p>\n<p>Fastest women\u2019s team was Chip 1, otherwise known as Copenhagen HIV Programme\/ISIM, and they were no slouches either. They raced past through the finish in 2:06, (an average of just over 25 minutes, we did the math\u2026)<\/p>\n<h2>Big surprise<\/h2>\n<p>Big surprise for some, but maybe not for insiders and DHL relay analysts, was the University Post team. Our team now holds the trophy of \u2018Central administration\u2019s Fastest\u2019 and will hold the trophy proudly until next year.<\/p>\n<p>University director J\u00f8rgen Honor\u00e9 was quick to grasp the symbolism of the international team of the University Post outsprinting the newspaper\u2019s Danish section Universitetsavisen.<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbAm I to understand that this is the international section University Post that has beaten the Danish section?\u00ab, he asked.<\/p>\n<h2>A promise<\/h2>\n<p>When this was confirmed by an eager University Post team, J\u00f8rgen Honor\u00e9 responded:<\/p>\n<p>\u00bbThe \u2018Universitetsavisen\u2019 has always been on their toes. Now this is my promise. If they are just as sharp as the University Post next year, I will make sure that they get their own trophy too\u2026\u00ab<\/p>\n<p>Uni-avis@adm.ku.dk<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay in the know about news and events happening in Copenhagen by <a href=\"http:\/\/universitypost.dk\/newsletter\" target=\"_blank\">signing up for the University Post\u2019s weekly newsletter here<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"ArticleEnd"},{"acf_fc_layout":"OtherStories","headline":"","hand_picked_posts":false,"references":false,"category":false,"theme":false,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":44,"name":"Campus","slug":"campus","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":44,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":1547,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":15,"name":"News Article","slug":"news_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":15,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":11493,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/10\/the_fastest_mixed_team_recieve_their_medals_at_the_ceremony..jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19656","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=19656"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19656\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":36712,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19656\/revisions\/36712"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/19658"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19656"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=19656"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=19656"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
