UCL turns 200 🎉
In 2026, UCL reaches an incredible milestone: 200 years since our university was founded. Throughout the year UCL is celebrating its bicentenary with a year-long program of events, exhibitions, and student-led activities. Find out more about UCL200 and the bicentenary here.
As part of the celebrations, TeamUCL is delivering five headline UCL200 Active challenges throughout the year, creating opportunities for the UCL community to get moving, try something new and celebrate together. Earlier this year, we launched the UCL200 Active Minutes Challenge, bringing our community together to reach a target of 200,000 total active minutes, and we smashed it! Now, we’re bringing UCL200 Active to campus with the UCL200 Active Campus Celebration Event.
Now it's time to get active 👟
On Wednesday 30 September, the UCL200 Active Campus Celebration Event will bring students together for a day packed with movement, activities, challenges, performances and opportunities to discover something new.

Whether you're a regular gym-goer, completely new to sport, looking for something fun to do between lectures or simply curious about what UCL has to offer, there's something for you.
Throughout the day, you can drop into activities, take on challenges, watch live demonstrations, meet TeamUCL clubs and discover new ways to move, play and spend time at UCL. Come along, have a go and find something you enjoy, there’s no pressure to be sporty or experienced.
