91直播 24 hour run makes 'virtual' comeback

After the success of the inaugural event in 2019, The 91直播 24 Hour Run is returning (virtually) on the 18th-19th November, organised by our University students, with the ambitious target of raising over £3000 for "A Bed Every Night" a scheme run by the Greater 91直播 Mayor's Charity.

Although the in-person event cannot go ahead as planned due to coronavirus restrictions, runners  can now take part from anywhere in the world.

Particpants can  go for a run or walk at any time from 12 noon to 12 noon and submit their  GPS activity on our website to have their  distance counted towards the total. The students  aim to cover a total of 1407km, the distance from Lands End to John O'Groats.

James Bannister, President of the Run Wild Society, said: "It's a shame we aren't able to keep the same group running format as last year, however I'm very proud that we have found a way to run the event virtually and raise money for A Bed Every Night, at a time when they need more support than ever."
