Hoka Hackney Half 2027 sold out in 2 days 🤯 That means a charity place is the only way in…and we have only 3 left! 💙 Broadway Market. Victoria Park. Hackney Wick. Live bands every mile. Glastonbury vibes at the finish 🪩🎶 If you're interested in running for codebar on 16th May 2027 drop us a DM 🫶

uncodebar last weekend was such a joy! No longer being in London (and having a child) means I don't go to many tech events anymore, which I do really miss. So this day brought me so much joy! Chatting with people I've know for years and lots of new people 🥰

Today, we’re celebrating the bi+ community and the unique experiences and contributions of bisexual people in tech and beyond. To all our bi+ students, coaches, organisers, and members: we see you, we celebrate you, and the tech industry is stronger with you.
