Get moving and make new friends with Here 4 U Run Club

Say hello to Here 4 U: Run Club, a brand new addition to the Halls Life events calendar. 

We meet, we warm up, we run (or walk) a friendly 5K together, then we head back for food, drinks and a catch up. It's a chance to get moving and get to know your fellow UAL Halls residents for only £2 per session. 

Don't let the word "run" put you off

Whether you're a seasoned runner, a complete beginner, or you'd simply rather walk the route, you're welcome. Staff and students will be walking as well as running, so you can go at whatever speed suits you and still be very much part of the group.

What to expect

Every Run Club follows the same relaxed format:

• Meet up at your hall for an electrolyte drink, introductions and a running vest
• Warm up together
• Run (or walk) a friendly 5K
• Cool down back at the hall with food and drinks, and time to socialise
• Prizes: we're giving away UAL art shop vouchers to random lucky winners at select events 🎁

Where it's happening

We're kicking things off in North and South London, with more locations to come.

Tickets go live 13 August at 9am. Please note, you must be a resident of the hosting hall (or signed in by one) to attend, and non-residents should sign in and out at reception.
