With the tagline walk, run, fun, the event is a favourite for UC staff and students with a round 100 sponsored to participate. Halls of residence students were also encouraged to get involved to meet new people as they begin studying at UC.
The UC Rec Centre played a key role in encouraging and feeding participants, offering a relaxed atmosphere, food and drinks, and a shaded spot to rest. The UC Cheer squad also joined the festivities, cheering everyone along on the trail.
For the UC Rec&Sport team, the event is a great way to start the year. Staff reflected on the enjoyment of seeing participants grow in confidence and reconnecting with alumni – the beautiful Canterbury day only adding to the event buzz.
