On Wednesday 30 April, more than 300 UCL students and staff came together at the iconic Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park for this years UCL Campus Run 2025.
Recap of the Day:
With clear skies and the sun shining, the day couldn't have been better for The UCL Campus Run. Students, staff and even some four-legged friends came together to be part of the vibrant celebration of community, wellness and sunshine!
The day started with Run Through bringing the energy in our event village, where participants could buy and collect The UCL Campus Run 2025 t-shirt. After participants received their race pack and soaked up the atmosphere in the event village, it was soon time to prepare with the warm up!
Thank you to Mihika from TeamUCL Gym for delivering the warm up.
The UCL Campus Run took place at UCL East, where participants conquered a 5K or 10K route around in the iconic Queen Elizabeth Park.
A total of 340 participants crossed the line collecting their medals!

Community and Creativity:

The UCL Campus Run is more than just a run, the event embraced inclusion and community.
artsUCL joined up with Project Active to deliver a sign making workshop before the event. Spectators helped cheer each other on and shared smiles and applause through each section.
We have to also thank our amazing volunteer marshals for brining high energy and motivation, as well as our volunteer photographers for capturing the event - We can't wait to see some of the photos!
Celebrating at Riverside East:
Following the run, participants and volunteers headed to Riverside East for a well earned post-run social.
The celebration allowed attendees to unwind, connect with new people and reflect on the shared experience whilst rehydrating.
The UCL Campus Run at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park was more than just a fitness event, it was a moment of connection, celebration, and community. Thank you to everyone who took part and helped make it a day to remember. We can’t wait to see you at the next one!
