Runners to go with the glow
Families are invited to shine for the Royal United Hospitals Bath at a new family friendly Glow Run event this autumn.
Organised by RUHX, the official hospital charity of the RUH, the Glow Run is an accessible 3km at Odd Down Sports Ground in Bath, suitable for all ages and abilities. The event comprises two laps of the tarmacked cycle track at Odd Down Sports Ground, with colourful lights marking the way.
Children and families can choose to walk or run, with the route also suitable for wheelchairs, pushchairs and buggies.
On the night of Friday, October 25, a group warm-up will get activities under way. There will be facepainting, light up accessories and more.
Everyone taking part is encouraged to wear their best fancy dress or favourite neon outfits and is asked to bring a torch to help light up the night for their local hospital.
Ellie Wilkinson, events and community officer at RUHX, said: “The Glow Run is a brilliant opportunity for local families to get active, have fun, and help to change lives at the RUH. Every penny raised at the Glow Run helps us to do more for patients, staff and everyone in Bath and beyond.
“Funds provide a range of help from state-of-the-art equipment to treat cancer patients in the new Dyson Cancer Centre, to diabetes packs that support newly diagnosed children.”
The event is kindly sponsored by Freestyle Designs in Bath, who have supported the charity for several years.
