Join the Campus 3K – walk, run, push or skip your way around campus!

The UoB Xtra Campus 3K is back on Wednesday 10 June 2026, and everyone’s invited to take part. Whether you want a study break, a reason to get outside, or a fun moment with friends before the end of term, this is a relaxed, feel‑good event where you can move at your own pace.

You can walk, run, push, skip, dress up, or just enjoy being outdoors – it’s 3K your way, with no pressure to finish quickly.

The route starts and finishes on the Green Heart at the University’s Edgbaston campus, and entry is free for all students and staff with a valid UoB ID.

Why not fundraise with Birmingham Gives

Taking part in the Campus 3K also gives you the chance to support Birmingham Gives, the University’s annual giving day. If you’d like to, you can set up a JustGiving page and raise funds that help talented young people access a Birmingham education.

Getting started is simple:

Visit the Birmingham Gives JustGiving page
Click Start fundraising
Personalise your page and share it with friends, family, or colleagues

Together, we’re aiming to reach a £3,000 fundraising target – every step helps open doors and create opportunities.

Ready to get involved?

Whether you’re running, strolling, skipping, volunteering, or cheering from the sidelines, we’d love to see you there. It’s a great way to take a break, enjoy the campus in the sunshine (fingers crossed), and be part of a fun UoB community event.
