Its not too late to join the 10th Annual Walkabout Challenge | January 18 – March 20
The 10th Annual Walkabout Challenge launched yesterday (Jan 13th) in Scarfe Room 310. Over 100 of the almost 300 registrants were there to enjoy a lunch provided by UBC Recreation, sample a smoothy generated by bicycle power, and listen to a talk given by its founder Dr. Joy Butler and members of the organizing committee about the annual 9-week health and wellbeing challenge promoting regular exercise in social settings. Designed and launched in 2005, Walkabout partners in 2016 with UBC Recreation and UBC Human Resources to celebrate the UBC Centennial and the Faculty of Education’s Year of Alumni. Everyone is welcome to create teams of five and compete in walking the virtual route, which replicates and commemorates The Great Trek of 1922.
Register before January 18.
