Students at the UCL Campus Run 2025

The UCL Campus Run isn’t about speed or distance alone, it’s about shared challenge, community and celebrating movement in all its forms with Project Active. In UCL’s 200th year, there’s no better time to come together.

The route winds through the world-famous Olympic Park, offering flat, fast paths and an encouraging atmosphere from fellow runners and supporters.

We’re partnering with RunThrough, one of the UK’s leading running event organisers, to deliver a safe, professional, and high-energy day for everyone. Whatever your pace, experience, or reason for running, this is one of the most inclusive and feel-good events in the UCL calendar.
