Hanka Mehager

Hiya, I'm Hanka! You might know me from track and ocassionaly a few cross country races. This time last year I ran for athletics captain, and as part of my manifesto, I vowed I would try my best to break the barrier between cross-country and athletics and make track accessible for all competing levels.

Having been on comittee for a year, I've learned my way around organising big competitions like BUCS, socials like Tea and Tactics, and collaborating with other unis to create a sense of inter-uni community.

I'm running for chair because I would like to continue contributing to the running society and ensure everyone feels welcome. I also feel there are 3 areas that I could help to improve:

- Women’s participation --> by introducing a regular fortnightly event that would be promoted on social media.

- Fund accessibility --> by promoting the club’s visibility on social media/LinkedIn and reaching out to alumni to gain sponsorships, so that more people can afford to go to BUCS or try out running.

- Bridging the gap between cross country and athletics --> there seems to be a divide between these two groups. I think it’s a shame because, having been in both, I know there are some lovely people and friendships that could arise.

Thank you for reading this far and considering to vote for me :)
