Over 170 people take part in night-time fun run for hospital charity
Over 170 people lit up the night for Royal United Hospitals Bath (RUH Bath) at the Glow run on Friday, 24 October.
Sponsored by Freestyle Designs, the fun run was organised by RUHX, the official hospital charity of the RUH Bath. Freestyle Designs has kindly supported the charity for over 10 years and took part in the night.
The event took place at Odd Down Sports Ground, and despite the wet and windy weather, families, students and NHS staff braved the elements to give back to their local hospital. Kicked off with a mass warm up led by Anna Barton PT, participants wore their best fancy dress to complete 3km in the dark around a lit-up route.
Over £6,000 has been raised so far with the total expected to rise over the coming weeks.
Ellie Wilkinson, Events & Community Manager at RUHX said: “It’s fantastic to see people of all ages and backgrounds come together for one cause. Every penny raised at the event means we can continue to change lives in Bath, Wiltshire and beyond, through improved cancer care, robotic surgery, transforming wards, and more.
“We are so grateful to all of our extraordinary Glow Runners, volunteers and spectators for braving the rain to join us in making this event a big success.”
