U of G Walks a Campus Mile

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Campus Mile: Healthy Workplace Launch Event.  We had over 100 people join on a rainy afternoon for a fun warm-up with Gryph and a one-mile walk or run through our beautiful campus. Thank you also to the United Way and community mental health agencies that came out to provide resources and information to our campus community.

One-Mile Walking Routes

The Wellness@Work Programming Committee has pulled together 3 different sample one-mile walking routes for you to enjoy throughout the year with your colleagues.

Participant Feedback

By participating in the Campus Mile, I had the opportunity to:

• get exercise during my busy day!
• meet other members of campus community enjoy some exercise in their company.
• step away from my desk and see people from other areas on campus.
• have fun getting some exercise with friends.
• connect with colleagues across campus, and get outside on a day that I would otherwise stay indoors.
