Sponsored by Freestyle Designs, the 3km fun run took place after dark at Odd Down Sports Ground.

The evening started with a warmup from The Little Gym Bath, before participants set off along the colourfully lit course.

People walked, hopped and even roller skated, wearing fancy dress and glow sticks to light up the night for their local hospital.

Participants celebrated completing their challenge in the UV after-glow disco.

Over £4,000 has been raised from the event so far, which helps RUHX go further for patients at the Royal United Hospital.

Ellie Wilkinson, Events & Community Officer at RUHX said: “A massive thank you and well done to everyone who took part in our first ever Glow Run!

“It was fantastic to see so many families, hospital staff, and people from across our community come along to support a great cause.

“We’d also like to thank Flashback Tape who kindly donated reflective tape for us to use on the course.”

A date for the Glow Run 2025 will be announced soon. You can register your interest at ruhx.org.uk/events/glow-run.
