Join us for a 5km loop run for Her Night, our one-off event part of Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week 2026.

Light the Night Movement Run, a fun and inclusive evening event inspired by the SOAR Light the Night campaign, is being delivered in collaboration by RGU athletics club and RGU Sport.

This is not an Athletics Club event, it's an opportunity for students and staff from across the RGU community to come together, get moving, and brighten up the night in a welcoming and supportive environment.

The 5km loop gets underway at 20:00 at RGU Sport.

There will be a run leader at the front, and a designated tail walker at the back, to ensure no one is left behind! Luminous face paint and glow-in-the-dark accessories will be available before the run!

Whether you're a regular runner, jogger, or simply looking to enjoy an active evening with friends, everyone is welcome. Come along, light up the night, and be part of a community movement promoting wellbeing, connection, and physical activity.


Scottish Women and Girls in Sport Week 2026

Research from sportscotland highlights that women participate in sport and physical activity at lower levels than men and identifies confidence, body image and male-dominated environments as key barriers. 

Women-only sessions are a recognised approach across the sport and leisure sector to help address these barriers and encourage participation. 

Female RGU Sport members and members of the public are encouraged to come along to Her Night, experience our gym facilities, and have fun taking part in physical activity.
