Random Run
It is a run for a random distance, which is a sum of the outcomes of two dice being tossed. Random experiment: independent sequential tossing of two dice.
Rules:
There are two dice. Before the start one die is tossed and the runners run a number of laps indicated. Meanwhile the second die is tossed and all runners continue to run an additional number of laps being announced. The number of laps in the second round is shown when the leading runners are finishing their last lap of the first round. To avoid any confusion, each runner will be assigned a starting number and a coach. Your coach will make sure that you have ran the appropriate number of laps by telling you the number of laps to go every time you pass him. You will get to know your coach before the run.
Travel and accommodation
Vienna is a city in Central Europe that is easy to reach and offers a wide range of accommodation options.
Coming to the TU Wien
There are direct flights from many cities to Vienna, and the city centre is accessible from the airport in less than 30 minutes.
Once at the airport, there are two connections to the city centre: either the CAT line (16 minutes non-stop, 14.90 € for one-way, 24.90 € for a two-way ticket), or the S7 line (25 minutes, 4.40 € for a one-way ticket including the public transport system in Vienna), or the usual railway to “Hauptbahnhof” (16 minutes non-stop, 3.90 € for a one-way ticket). CAT and S7 go daily every 30 minutes to Wien Mitte, which is located in the heart of Vienna. There, you can easily reach the University via the subway line U4, at Karlsplatz (2 stops, direction Hütteldorf). From “Hauptbahnhof” you reach the TU Wien via the subway line U1, at Karlsplatz (2 stops, direction Leopoldau).
Taxis are quite expensive, however, there are companies with flat rates that you can prebook (for example € 33.- with Airport Driver).
