Published Thu 15 Aug 2024
Adelaide University Sport and Fitness is set to host its highly anticipated Sports Week and the 16th Annual Vice-Chancellor’s (VC) Cup from October 14 - 18, 2024, at the University of Adelaide North Terrace Campus. This year’s event promises a week filled with dynamic sports and activities, culminating in the exhilarating VC Cup—the race that stops the campus!
Teams of four—2 staff and 2 students (1 male, 1 female each) from each Faculty/Division — will compete in various sports and challenges. Sports Week will feature a variety of daily competitions, including Ergo Row, Table Tennis, Volleyball, and 3x3 Basketball, with the week concluding with the Cornhole tournament and the prestigious VC Cup 800m relay race. The VC Cup, now in its 16th year, will be a highlight to end the week or activities, as six teams compete for the coveted trophy in an 800m relay around the campus.
This year the competiting teams include:
- Division of Academic and Student Engagement,
- Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences,
- University Operations & External Engagement,
- Faculty of Sciences, Engineering, and Technology,
- Faculty of Arts, Business, Law, and Economics, and
- Adelaide University Sport and Fitness
Each member of the winning team will receive a $50 Rebel Sport voucher and a medal for each daily event (including the VC Cup). The VC Cup winners will also get the VC Cup trophy to display, and the overall champions of Sports Week will earn an engraved shield to showcase in their Faculty or Division!
This week-long event not only celebrates athletic skills, but also fosters community spirit among students, faculty, and staff. The VC Cup, in particular, is known for bringing the entire campus to a standstill as participants and spectators gather to witness the relay race.
