In association with EarthRuns, the School Operations team in AMBS has organised a virtual 5km open to all colleagues. Register to run, walk, cycle, roll or jog 5km at any point in May and receive a biodegradable, plastic-free 'seeded medal' which can be planted to grow wildflowers.

This initiative aims to support the mental and physical health and wellbeing of our colleagues, while also contributing to the University’s environmental sustainability goals. It costs £10 to sign up and the funds raised go towards supporting a range of social enterprises. Each medal is handmade from recycled materials and for every medal sold, a tree will be planted.

Participants do not need any running experience, and can complete the challenge in their own time, at their own pace. They will also receive a personalised report at the end of the challenge to show the impact their steps have had on the planet.

Complete this form to sign up and the AMBS School Operations team will be in touch regarding the registration fee and next steps. For any further questions, please email AMBS Operations Assistant, Darren Cunningham.
