The next race on our calendar is the MTU 5k on March 3 at 10am. Regiatration takes place from 8.30am and there’s an added incentive to get there early as the first 400 runners to enter get a free MTU towel.
This was the first race last year that we used only chip timing with no tunnels as backup. That has helped to speed up results but we still do a visual backup at the finishing line so be sure that your bib is visible as you finish the race. No chip timing equipment will catch all bibs. We also re-use bibs to be more sustainable avoiding additional electronic waste from this system.
MTU recently marked the launch of it’s Ditch the Disposables campaign across all MTU campuses. This involves removing single-use cups from all canteens as part of it’s commitment to environmental sustainability. They are therefore asking runners to bring their own reusable cup for refreshments after the race on the 3rd of March.
