Campus Mile: Healthy Workplace Month Launch Event 2021

Staff, faculty, and students are invited to celebrate the launch of Healthy Workplace Month with the fifth annual U of G Campus Mile!  Join us online for the welcome video, anytime on Friday, October 1st.

Participants will walk, run or roll one mile wherever they are working from. If you're a runner, you may want to try the Campus Mile twice! Participants are encouraged to research a one mile route from their starting point in advance of the event.  This is a chance for you to engage in physical activity, connect virtually with colleagues, take in the sights and sounds around you, and enhance your mood.

Participants who register and share a photo after the event on our Campus Mile Kudoboard will be entered into a random draw for three grand prizes!
