Cross Country & Athletics: Hyde Park Relays Organiser

Hello, my name is Noah, and I'm a first year in the society. I've really enjoyed the society so far, and I believe this is a role I can contribute well to next year. The Hyde Park Relays have been run for 76 years, and is the biggest student organised race in the country. I am passionate about continuing these incredible relays, and creating an even bigger and better Hyde Park Relays in 2026.

I possess the relevant skills in organising such a large scale event such as team-work and communication, and have experience in project management and leading teams and projects to completion, such as being the head of my school's yearbook committee.

I plan to improve communication and promotion of Hyde Park Relays, by utilising instagram posts and stories, as well as moving the entry system to another platform e.g. OpenTrack, where it will be listed and displayed with other running events. This also provides a more convenient system for entrants, where they can view other entries and easily edit their own entry. In addition, I plan to encourage more runners from universities outside of London. I will start negotiating for the event date earlier as well, to secure a date that can be promoted.

The Hyde Park Relays is an amazing event, and I look to take it to even greater heights!
