A record number of Salford City College students and staff took part in this year's Salford 10k with nearly 40 runners getting involved to raise money for St Ann's Hospice.
The team met at MediaCityUK (where the race started and ended) and ran in bright yellow t-shirts which proudly promoted that Salford City College is the number 1 GFE College in Greater Manchester!

In the months leading up to the race, Salford City College has been in friendly competition with Salford City Council to see who could recruit the most runners and get the best times. The fastest staff member from Salford City College was David Law, IT & Computing tutor completing in an impressive 41.29. Salford City College supported the Council with their campaign in raising awareness for the Suicide Prevent Strategy and both teams met for brunch after the race at FutureSkills @MediaCityUK. Salford City College students were asked to set up a stage at the half way mark to provide music for the 2500 runners to lift spirits which added to the lively and fun atmosphere.

Salford City College works hard to promote the benefits of health and well-being to students and for this academic year the College has introduced a 'university-style' gap in timetables on Wednesday afternoons so that students can get involved in enrichment and sporting opportunities on offer and become less sedentary and more actively involved in the College community.

College CEO/Principal, John Spindler, a keen marathon runner, completed the race in 50.31 and said, "It was great that so many staff ran the event. Some are seasoned runners whilst others are new to running and their aim was just to complete the 10k. It was great to run alongside colleagues from Salford City Council and the weather stayed nice and dry - perfect running conditions. Hopefully this inspires even more students and staff to get involved next year!"

Thank you to those who have already kindly donated. We know that some people prefer to donate after the event has happened so if you would like to donate to St Ann's Hospice here is the link:
