The event garnered enthusiastic participation, with a total of 120 dedicated runners taking part. The spirit of camaraderie and healthy competition filled the air as over 100 spectators cheered on the runners, creating an electric atmosphere. To enhance the experience, attendees had the opportunity to engage in invigorating aerobics sessions further emphasising the importance of holistic wellness.

Unicaf University was on-hand to promote its diverse range of academic offerings. As the runners crossed the finish line and spectators joined in the energetic aerobics sessions, Unicaf University representatives engaged with many participants and introduced them to the Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral degree programmes offered by the university. With a focus on online and blended learning, Unicaf University empowers individuals to pursue higher education while accommodating their existing commitments and lifestyles.
