Over 170 people lit up the night for Royal United Hospitals Bath (RUH Bath) at the Glow run on Friday 24 October.
The event took place at Odd Down Sports Ground, and despite the wet and windy weather, families, students and NHS staff braved the elements to give back to their local hospital. Kicked off with a mass warm up led by Anna Barton PT, participants wore their best fancy dress to complete 3km in the dark around a lit-up route.
Over £6,000 has been raised so far with the total expected to rise over the coming weeks.
Ellie Wilkinson, Events & Community Manager at RUHX, said, “It’s fantastic to see people of all ages and backgrounds come together for one cause. Every penny raised at the event means we can continue to change lives in Bath, Wiltshire and beyond, through improved cancer care, robotic surgery, transforming wards, and more.
“We are so grateful to all of our extraordinary Glow Runners, volunteers and spectators for braving the rain to join us in making this event a big success.”
Sponsored by Freestyle Designs, the fun run was organised by RUHX, official hospital charity of the RUH Bath. Freestyle Designs have kindly supported the charity for over 10 years and took part on the night.
A date for the Glow Run 2026 will be announced soon on the RUHX website at ruhx.org.uk.
