This years UCL 5KM run had over 100 participants conquer the iconic track at Lee Valley VeloPark, but with a spooky twist!

On Wednesday 30 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 Adil Patel (Project Activator and RAX Club member) clocking in at 18 minutes and 41 seconds! Well done to everyone who took part, you are all winners!

We would like to say a big thank you to RAX Club and our Project Activator Ethan for supporting as pacers and course marshals at the event!
