HR4.5 Fun Run

It's that time of year again when students and staff at Hills Road start preparing for one of the most popular events in the College calendar - The Hills Road 4.5 Fun Run!

The HR4.5 Fun Run is where the College community take part in a 4.5km race by running, walking, cycling, or even skipping!  Every year, participants  gain sponsorships and raise money for the chosen charity. It's a fun event that brings the whole Hills Road community together and many participants choose to dress up or wear the HR4.5 t-shirts on the day.

This year is the 9th annual event and so far the HR4.5 has raised an amazing £75,000 for the chosen charities! This year's fun run is once again sponsored by ARM and the charity that the College has chosen to raise money for is the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Look out for runners and cyclists in their brightly coloured t-shirts on Wednesday 13th April. They will be running, walking, hopping and skipping the 4.5 kilometre route along Hills Road, down Brooklands Avenue, along the Hobson’s Brook footpath, out onto Long Road, down Sedley Taylor Road and Luard Road and then back out onto Hills Road.

The cyclists will take a 45 kilometre route starting out from the College, passing through the Shelfords, Newton, Fowlmere, Ickleton, Duxford and Whittlesford, before returning to the College

To see for yourself how fun the events are, one of our Alumnus, Gareth Nunns, has videoed the last two years' events:
