University of Kent Athletics and Cross Country Club run from Canterbury to Paris
In June 2014, a team from the University of Kent Athletics and Cross Country Club ran over 200 miles from the University’s Canterbury campus to its Paris centre. They ran over 26 miles a day for 8 consecutive days – the equivalent of over 8 marathons! In addition to raising awareness of the University’s 50th year and showcasing the opportunities available to students upon joining a University of Kent sports team, they also raised over £6000 for the Kent based charity, Pilgrims Hospice.
Runners from the Club are well known for taking on big challenges; in 2013 they completed a similar charity event, running from the east coast of the United Kingdom to the west coast.Keep up to date with news from Kent
