You’ve exercised your mind for the last few weeks during mid-terms; now it’s time to get your endorphins firing. There are two (free!) fitness events happening over the next two weeks:

 

 

1. Nike Run Club. On Wednesday, Feb 18, the Nike Run Club is sponsoring a fun run at 6:00 PM (meet in front of Hayward Field). Participants can test Nike shoes during the run. There are two groups that go 3 and 5 miles at various speeds. All levels are welcome! Snacks and hydration are provided after the run.

2. Ducks Unite Fitness Challenge. On Monday Feb 23, Ducks Unite Fitness Challenge will sponsor its inaugural event, a run through campus at 5:00 PM (meet at the EMU). The run will end at the Rec Center with additional activities and treats. This is part of the Pac-12 Challenge, a competition to see which school can accumulate the most minutes of activity. The winner earns the title of Pac-12 Fitness Challenge Champion, so get out there, log your activity online, and do your part to help the Ducks bask in glory!

To paraphrase the ancient Greek poet Hesiod: “He who wins with might and strength easily carries off a fine prize with delight, and brings fame to his country.” So lace up your running shoes and get out there–let’s go!!
