Over 170 people lit up the night for the hospital at the run on Friday 24th October.
The event, sponsored by Freestyle Designs, 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.
The event was kicked off with a mass warm-up led by PT Anna Barton. 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.”
A date for the Glow Run 2026 will be announced soon on the RUHX website at ruhx.org.uk.
