BAFA Sports and Students United have collaborated to host their first virtual 5k and 10k event, which runs off from June 1- 20.
They have also included a 20k distance (and training schedule) for those who wish to go the extra distance.
Students United is a collaboration amongst many secondary schools – private, denominational and government. Its target group for this event is secondary school students, but the event is open to all.
The idea was initiated by staff members who found it increasingly difficult to keep students motivated with online learning. They observed that students were less engaged, less interested and their mental health at risk.
