Karni raise over £15k with Sport Relief mile

Karnival’s first Sport Relief mile raised over £15,000 for charity as students and locals spent their Sunday morning running around campus.

Although they are still calculating the final figure, the fun-run is estimated to have generated “between £15,000 and £30,000”, according to Karni director Tom Goodman.

“It went even better than we were expecting,” he said. “Barring one brief shower, it was a beautiful day and it was great to see so many locals interacting with students as well.”

Considering locals tend to despise students, this seems to be a step in the right direction.

Starting at Trent building, there were three different routes: a one miler, a three miler and a six miler.

The undoubted stars of the show were Adam Bevis-Knowles, who won the one mile race, the Pro-Vice-Chancellor who competed and these little guys, who were unable to take the gold despite being early favourites and striking fear into the hungover student competition.

Tactics… Nothing frightens students more than the thought of babies
