Campus 3K: Join the fun this summer at UoB Xtra!
Get ready to walk, jog, run, or dance your way around campus – because the Campus 3K is back and bigger than ever as part of this summer’s UoB Xtra!
Together with colleagues from across the University we’re bringing the community spirit back to campus with UoB Xtra. Three weeks of exciting, feel-good activity running from Monday 9 June to Friday 27 June. One of the highlights of the first week is the much-loved Campus 3K!
Save the Date: Wednesday 11 June
The Campus 3K is your chance to celebrate the end of the summer assessment period with fellow students and staff in a feel-good, zero-pressure event. Whether you’re in your second year, final year, or finishing up a postgraduate course, this is for everyone.
Start time: From 1pm
Location: Green Heart, Edgbaston Campus
Theme: 3K Your Way!
Walk it. Jog it. Skip it. Wear fancy dress. Bring your mates. This is all about fun and community – not competition.
What to expect
- Free entry for UOB students and staff.
- Chipped timing and personalised bibs (yes – your name on your number!).
- Rory the Lion will be joining in the fun, rocking bib number 125.
- Free t-shirts for the first 125 students and 125 staff to collect their entry.
- Energetic warm-up session to get you moving!
- Plus many more exciting details to be announced closer to the time!
Why take part?
The Campus 3K is more than just a fun run – it’s a chance to connect, move, and celebrate with others after a busy year. One of the best bits of feedback from our last event was how great it felt for staff and students to do something together – so we’re doing just that, all over again.
Plus, who wouldn’t want to say they’ve done a 3K with Rory the Lion?
