Overview
涩里番下载鈥檚 Walk Across Campus (WAC) is among the most popular of many Healthy You sponsored activities. Over the last several years, the Walk Across Campus challenge has successfully promoted friendly competition while building solid camaraderie amongst peers throughout 涩里番下载. The WAC has fostered a 鈥渃ommunity of walkers鈥�, year-round, and once the challenge begins the campus fills with scores of walkers getting their steps in whenever they can. From one end of campus to the other there are so many enjoyable areas to get in your steps--from the Chestnut Hill Reservoir, to the Pine Tree Reserve, to Chandler Pond, to right through the middle of campus, you will find places to keep you moving!
Fall 2024 Walk Across Campus
The Fall edition of the 鈥淲alk Across Campus,鈥� (WAC) is right around the corner, and this semester, the WAC will be housed on the IncentFit app! 涩里番下载鈥檚 WAC program has successfully promoted friendly competition while building solid camaraderie amongst peers throughout 涩里番下载. Our beautiful campus offers many areas to enjoy taking steps. For instance, when leaving from the 129 Lake building, two loops around Chandler Pond equals two miles, as does completing one loop around the reservoir when you leave from the Margot Connell Recreation Center. We hope last semester鈥檚 Team Leaders will return to lead their team and recruit even more participants!
