The IfU-Institute of WU Vienna and its head of institute have already given their approval.

Organization In the context of the Management-Mile a CEMS competition could be incorporated.

•

CEMS Office Vienna + CEMS Club Vienna as main organizers

•

Nearby universities (St. Gallen, Budapest,…) could come to run the actual Managementmeile

•

CEMS Office Vienna would pay the participation fee for all CEMS runners present in Vienna

•

Other universities would join to run simultaneously

•

Time-keeping would be decentralized, then transmitted to Vienna to evaluate the winners

Rules The following is a proposition for rules (additional to the ones by the IfU-Institute) • Unlimited number of universities, unlimited number of runners • eligible: CEMS students, faculty, office personnel, alumni, CP rep‘s

• Per university set-up of teams possible • Participation as individual runner, and additionally as teams possible • Teams of 3 people, separated into 2 categories: Students & mixed • Mixed teams = min. 1 current student & 1 faculty member/staff/CP rep • 5 km track • Time-keeping via RunTastic or Nike Plus (in Vienna via chip) • Photos / pictures as proof for actual running to be provided

Tracking In Vienna there will be professional time-keeping with a running chip. For the other universities, the use of a running app would be recommendable.

1. Runtastic App / Nike+ The apps are available for all kinds of smartphone and allows you to upload tracks on the web and compare times.

Other apps would also be eligible, however, then a screenshot would have to be sent. → However, preferred solution: 1 common app

2. Stopwatch For participants without a smartphone, normal stopwatch time-keeping would also be an option (predefined track necessary). The time would have to be registered and send via e-mail, together with the other times.

Competitions Besides the invidual competition there will be a team score: • 2 categories: CEMS-STUDENTS and CEMS-MIXED • 1 team = 3 people

• Mixed: min. 1 student, min. 1 faculty/office/CP • Unlimited number of teams • Teams have to be announced upfront

In addition, one could implement winners for • Best track (sights/scenery/shape) • Best outfits • Best team picture • Best university (average time of all runners)

Party / Conference Call After the times have been transmitted (via app or simply email contact) and the evaluation has taken place, a common conference call could be held to announce the winners. •

Times should be transmitted via e-mail or on the app platform immediately after the run

•

Prepared timesheet (Google Docs) to evaluate winners once all data have been entered

•

Conference call via Skype / Google Hangout to announce winners
