On Sunday 1st June, during King’s Birthday weekend, a small group from Run Canterbury headed out to Lincoln to take part in the Selwyn Marathon – and they did an awesome job!

Four UC students, who had been training through a 10-week programme run by the UC RecCentre, took on the challenge. Three completed the half marathon, and one student ran her first-ever 10km — finishing in under an hour. A seriously impressive effort from everyone involved!

We’re really proud of how much progress these students made over the programme and how well they performed on the day. It was a great atmosphere, and everyone came away with a sense of achievement

Keen to give running a go?
