RUN SYD UNI

That was .... bananas!

Super proud to see the University of Sydney campus come alive in spooktacular fashion last Friday as we hosted RUNSYDUNI on Halloween!

RUNSYDUNI is the University’s biggest on-campus fun run — a free 4km event open to all current USYD students and staff. This year was our biggest year yet and net year... it will be bigger again!

A huge thank you to our incredible support crew who made it all possible — our volunteers from Sydney University Athletics Club, Sydney Uni Sport, Protective Services, and USU.

A Halloween twist makes everything better, am I right?

Here’s your RUN SYD UNI course map!

Huge congrats to our amazing group who crushed their 8-week training for RUNSYDUNI 🥹!
