This years UCL 5KM run had over 60 participants conquer the iconic track at Lee Valley VeloPark, but with a spooky twist!

On Wednesday 29 October, the UCL 5km Run: Halloween Edition brought together UCL undergraduate and postgraduate students and staff from both Bloomsbury and UCL East Campus! This years theme was Halloween, and there was some incredible costumes.

First over the line was Simon Foinet clocking in at 19:37.2. Well done to everyone who took part, you are all winners!
