Race for Life on campus

On Sunday 16 July, The University's Wivenhoe Park campus hosted Cancer Research Uk's Race for Life.

2,500 women walked, jogged and ran their way around the 5km route in blistering heat to raise money for the charity, including many staff and students from the University.

Details of how much money the University Race for Life raised will be posted here shortly.

Below are some of the photographs taken on the day. All photographs  by Michael Sansom.
